I am trying to get a LeCoultre watch repaired, have taking it to a local repairman and he says he can't get hold of a new balance wheel. Can any one help? I am assuming it is a calibre 470 as it has 470/1 engraved below the balance wheel, Thanks for your help. Simon | ||

I probably have what you need, but would only provide the part in the context of a complete overhaul. Is it completely apart now or your guy is just eye balling it thinking he needs a new balance wheel? I'm not trying to be difficult, but there are just too many variables involved in fitting a used balance wheel from one watch to another and I don't want to send parts back and forth. | ||

The watch is in for a complete overhaul, has been with my watchmaker for the past 3 weeks, picked it up today they said have tried to order some parts but they cannot get a new balance wheel as the part has been discontinued. Thought I'd try and hunt one down. If you have the relevant part what price would I be looking at? and what payment methods do you prefer? Simon | ||

Hello, I'm only able to sell the part if I am fitting it myself. There are too many variables involved in fitting used balance wheels into another watch. | ||

Would you be able to do all the repairs on the watch then? Shall I add images of the watch so you can see the state of it and what needs doing?. Where are you based? I am in the UK. Many thank Simon | ||
