Hi. I'm compiling LeCoultre and Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber and serial numbers. If you're at the point where you have your watch open, please email me the following: - Movement Serial # - Movement Caliber Number - Brand: LeCoultre or JLC - If the back is engraved with a date, send that too, in exchange I will send you an excel spreadsheet with a few hundred serial numbers and approximate production dates. Thanks, Zaf | ||

You have a what is called a "Power wind" model, movement serial number of 974,548 would date it to about 1954. Keep these numbers coming! I have about 140 now. | ||

Dear Zaf, I've recently acquired a LeCoultre Automatic, not sure when it was made, how much it is worth, and what model it is... please help. Look similar to the Mark VII model but it has silver plating cover instead of gold, number 3,6,9,12 in gold, hour and minute hand in gold, second hand in blue. Here is the number from the inner back cover 591502, on the movement read "seventeen 17 jewels unadjusted LeCoultre Co swiss 481 | ||

Hi...I'd need the movement serial number to give you an approximate date. Thanks, Zaf | ||
| Tristan Rating: N/A |
Zaf, The number inside is 769766, thanks for your help. Tristan | ||
| zaf Rating: N/A |

Dear Zaf, I have just acquired a vintage JLC Stainless Steel Snap-Back Case, Ref.220, silvered dial with painted Arabic numerals, w/blued steel baton hands, auxiliary Second, rectangular decorated 17 Jewel Movement #88418, Cal. 11/LO.(I also made a note that the case # is 102548 but am not sure about it's significance.) It is a unique piece as the dial is round. Can you tell me when it was made and anything else about the watch and/or movement? Thanks for your help. Ron | ||
| zaf Rating: N/A |
Hi. The watch is round and the movement is rectangular if I understand corectly? Sounds like an interesting and pretty watch, I can really tell you about the watch without seeing a picture, but an 88,418 serial # would indicate a very early 1930s movement production. Does that seem consistent with the watch? Zaf | ||
| Ron Weis Rating: N/A |
Dear Zaf, Thanks for your prompt reply. I will send you a picture of the watch and the movement and we can proceed from there. My best regards, Ron | ||
| Nate Rating: N/A |
Dear Zaf, I have a JLC with the # 396953. The case has Acier Inoxydable. What year was this watch made? Regards, Nate | ||
| zaf Rating: N/A |
1945 give or take a year. Zaf | ||

Still looking for serial numbers. If you have a JLC that you want dated, I need the serial # and movement caliber. Thanks. | ||

I posted a question and a picture on another website that you visit, however I see that you monitor this one more frequently. Also, an gentlemen "phred" has been also helping me to identify this watch. I took mine to a jeweler and have received the following information Seriel #: 3527456 / 2109 MUT# 1351328 Caliber 814 I would love any feedback you could provide. | ||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 40 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
Caliber 814 would indicate an alarm of somekind. It does not necessarily have a model name. Most didn't. A movement serial number of 1.3M indicates a 1961-1962 production. | ||
| Tom Landry Unregistered guest Rating: N/A |
Thank you. I will let Phred know that you responded to my post. Also, I wrote up a fairly lenghty post under the name "doubletzer" that detailed my questions. I have also posted a picture on the other site. Of all the LC alarm watches I have seen, I haven't yet seen one like my grandfather's watch yet. I think it is pretty unique and it is in great condition. Thanks again. | ||

I know nothing about watches , but I saw one that I really liked and I have been doing research on it . Turns out that it is an old (50-60) LeCoultre . I ended up purchasing it and now it is being sized and appraised . It is 14k , the movement and the inside of the case both say Jaeger-LeCoultre and fabrique Suisse . The number on the outside of the case is 781406 . As soon as my appraisal with the pictures comes back I will be able to post that info . If any one knows anything about this watch it would be appreciated . I called JLC North America and they said they would send the info to Switzerland For further ID. Thank You , Richie | ||

Dear Zaf I have just acquired a JLC 18K gold watch with intergrated 18K gold braclet. The appraiser has given me these numbers: Caseback # 4412, Serial # 2046151, Model # P839. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks | ||

Here is some information from my JLC watch: - Movement Serial # : 1108081 - Movement Caliber Number : P800/c - Brand: LeCoultre or JLC : Jaeger-LeCoultre - Back is inscribed Oct. 1967 and numbered 9460 General info: It's a 33 mm Dia. 9 Ct. Gold watch with snap back. Do you have some information about this movement fo me? Peter | ||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 162 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
The Caliber P800/C would be the 17 jewel version of the movement fitted with Parachoc shock protection. Looks like you have a British or Australian market watch. Movement serial number would date it to approximately 1956, so either the movement was fitted in the watch at a later date or the inscription was done later. | ||

I have a LeCoultre watch with these numbers inside the back case. Could you tell me anything about it? 230C317 and 579333 Thanks, Tea4twoAnd9 | ||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 166 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
Sorry I can't. The only thing I can do is date movements. I'd need the serial number of the movement for that. If you post a picture of your watch, we can try to figure out what you have. | ||
| Adrienne Maloney Unregistered guest Rating: N/A |
Would it be possible for you to date the movement of my Jaeger-LeCoultre watch? The number on the movement is: 1356712. Many thanks. | ||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 171 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
About 1963. | ||

I have a Jaeger Le Coultre watch. It has gold bands, gold face, and gold hands. On the back of the watch are 2 numbers: 14095.21 and 1391032. The clasp has 750 on it. What does all this mean, and what could this watch be worth. | ||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 175 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
14095.21 sounds like the case reference number, 1391032 the case serial number and the 750 indicates that the clasp is made of 18K gold. I'd need a picture to try to guess value. | ||

Hi Zaf, can you date a Master Date with a case serial of 6642 (case model 140.8.87)? Thanks! | ||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 184 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
No sorry, I can only date via the movement serial number. | ||

Hi Zaf, can you please date my JLC Master mariner for me.Case serial No. E557/1, Movement serial No. 1925943 and caliber K883. It is a SS model. This is the third time that I have tried to post this so I hope this one gets to you. By the way this is a great service that you offer! cheers Ray from Australia. | ||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 196 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
A slightly under 2M serial number would date it to 1968. I think Ilja had found the E557 in an old German catalog from 1968 too. | ||

Any Model info? - Movement Serial # (1300272) - Movement Caliber Number (K815) - Brand: LeCoultre - No back. 2. Le Coultre square movement, 19mm wide. "Swiss, Le Coultre Co, Seventeen, 17 jewels, unadjusted" on movement. Can you estimate value? Any Model info? - Movement Serial # (553300) - Movement Caliber Number (438/4CW) - Brand: LeCoultre - No back. I also have another watch to date. Do you have any or can you direct me towards any links for dating GP or Gruen watches. Here is the data on the GP. #. Girard Perregaux Gyromatic watch, 70's look, 40mm wide, stainless steel. "Seventeen, 17 jewels, unadjusted" on movement. - Movement Serial # (???) - Movement Caliber Number (460-266) Thanks Doug   | ||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 207 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
The Alarm is circa 1960, the rectangular one is circa 1947. Sorry, I don't have any dating system for the GP. | ||

Hi Doug, Right now I can't do it. I am working on a book and some of the information has become confidential until publication. I can't let it escape to the internet anymore, sorry for the confusion. However, I'd be happy to date any others you may run accross. | ||

I have a ladies 18k watch. The band also is 18K. The serial number is 1215574. The face is blue and there is a blue stone in the stem. I think it was purchased in the 1960's. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. | ||

Hi Zaf I am thinking about buying a JLC Memovox and have been given the following serial number from the movement; #1153871. I have attached a picture sent to me by the shop. Can you date that for me?  Thanks, Dave | ||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 227 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
Dave, the Memovox would date to about 1955 - 1956 | ||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 228 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
Amy is the serial number that of the case of the movement? I can only date movements,if it is a movement serial number than the watch is from about 1957-58. | ||

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread, it is getting too long! If you have other serial number questions, please start a new thread. Thanks, Zaf |
