Hi everyone, I'm new to this board but not new to vintage watches on the net. I am trying to restore a pre-50's Jaeger Lecoultre manual mens watch and I'm missing a part. Cal.p469/c Does anyone know who I could speak to about this? Thanks in advance. regards A. I'll try and get some pics. it is a really neat watch. | ||

Which part? I may have it. | ||

I think it is called the Pull up piece/spring/bolt. It engages the hands when the crown is pulled up for time setting. I'll get a picture of it for you. The spring has snapped but I have the main piece of the part. regards A. | ||

OK, I probably have setting parts for that movement. | ||

Check this to find the parts specific name and part number: http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.org/Caliber-details/Caliber_449_469.jpg Zaf, the cal. 488 setting lever (#443) does not fit other 12 1/2" movements. If you don�t find the part, I can jump in with a canibalized movement. | ||

Hmm...looks like you are missing about 8-10 parts. Your best bet is to buy an entire movement from a junk watch somewhere. | ||

Hi, Sorry for being rude and not getting back. The watch is being restored by a family friend who is not versed with the internet and so I needed to speak to him about what you have said. Sorry for miss-representing myself. Apparently he has all of the parts you mentioned, the only part he needs is the damaged one in the picture. If anyone could help me out further I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again for all of your help. Regards Alistair | ||

I can't tell from the picture which one would be the damaged one since it would be missing! | ||

Hi, Ok I'll get a picture with the part in situ. regards Alistair | ||

Here is the part that I need with the movement position and description. Any help greatly appreciated. Regards Alistair  | ||

I have the part that the lines are touching. Is this the one? | ||

Hi Zaf, yes that is the part, the spring end of the part is broken off. If you have the part complete then can I buy it from you? Please email me at [email protected] I can paypal? regards Alistair Gibbons |
