I have a vintage (late 1950's)Jaeger LeCoultre thin manual wind watch. The watch was shipped to me from Argentina S.A. with a sapphire jeweled crown. What is the correct crown for this watch? Did Jaeger LeCoutre produce a mens watch with a jeweled crown? The case has 993152 stampped on the back, and the face has Jaeger LeCoultre scripted @ 3:00. The face has markers only, no date or second hand...Help! | ||

Most likely that is not the right crown, a photo will allows us to make that call. | ||

Here are some photos of the watch. Thanks   | ||

I'd expect a normal small sized "JL" crown on that watch. This is most likely a 1960s watch. | ||

I have the original box with some repair paperwork dated 1961. I was guessing the watch was a late 50's early 60's model. Thanks for your input. | ||

Does anyone have any idea what model this watch is? I am sending it off to have the crown replaced because I think it is wrong (thanks Zaf). Any info or resource that I could review before I ship it would be great. | ||

That sounds like a lot of expense just for a crown. To get the case reference numbers, it usually is a sect of numbers (typically 4 digits) located below the case serial numbers, located in the inside of the case back. | ||

I have the numbers 1901 located below all of the script. Above that: Brevet + 76929 | ||

It's probably case reference 1901 then. | ||

Where can I find out what this watch should look like? | ||

You'll need to find it in an old catalog (or another example). I have neither. |
