Can anyone help me with identifying this JLC watch. On the case back is the following: 284165 Arrow pointing up WWW F13507 The face has Jaeger LeCoultre written with Arabic numbers 1-4 and 8-12, a sub-second dial, and the small (hour) hand has a shape similar to a Rolex, in the center of the dial is an arrow pointing up. I think the face was originally black with white numbers, but the numbers are now patina/brown. |

Hi Zaf: thanks for the information. I love the watch, but it does not keep very good time. So far it is gaining about one minute a day or a little more. So, my question is � do you think this is what I should expect from this watch, or should I send it to a service person you recommend to try to time it better? mark |

When was it last serviced? ... and which country are you in? If you're in the USA I can service it for you. I do overseas service requests, but they're a lot of work for me, so I'd prefer to give you local recommendations in that case, if I know someone. |
