Hello.
Im new in this forum. Need your help for dating the Jaeger LeCoultre watch I have just adquired.
I bought it two weeks ago in a flea market here in Madrid, Spain.
It looks just like a kind of Reverso from 30s or 40s. The serial number grabbed in the caliber is 151XXX.
Thanks a lot for your help

No, It's the serial number of the case, so no meaning.

Great information Zaf.
Ill try to post a picture. Is a relly bad picture I know, the watch looks much better.
I think that the crown is no original. Is there any form to get an original ones?.
Do you know which is the model?
How much could it worth?

It's probably what they called the "Uniplan" model.The original crown isn't signed, so anything that's flat should work. It looks like what you have on there now, but with a larger diameter.

Thanks a lot Zaf.
Should I change the crown?. Have you the correct replacement?.
Another question, please. Inside the back of the watch is marked 1937 by a watchmaker. May be a date code for a reparation? Is it consistent with the movement serial number?
Thanks again from Spain
