<img> Hi, I just obtained this beat up, currently non-working and a bit corroded, Jaeger-LeCoultre watch with the following info. Movement: P 468 (I think) Serial Number: 308499 Case back inside: LeCoultre Co. Acier Inoxydable Case back outside: B 264409 Having spent time here, I know better than to spend money on a non working watch, but a JLC for only a hundred bucks was too hard to resist, so I went for it. I would appreciate any info you could give me regarding this watch. Also would appreciate suggestions and estimates on how to get it working again. Thanks! | ||

Oh I guess the image tag doesn't work, sorry about that! I've attached the image to this message.  | ||

The watch dates to about 1944. Depending on how much rust there is on the balance, hairspring and regulator, this may be a difficult repair. But even for parts $100 ain't bad. | ||
