Looking for vintage jaeger-lecoultre serial number

You should ask an antiquary or a good pawn shop. Or do a search in abay sometimes they have similar vintage stuff

The only way that makes any sense is if there is something loose inside the watch possible the battery plate or battery are moving when you are moving. The back will need to be removed and the battery plate checked. You will need to have the watch checked at a jewelry store or watch repair shop. Thank you i hope this helps a little !!

cousinsuk.com choose branded watch parts, select the brand and search. They are in England but I use them all the time, you have to go through there little signup procedure but whatever it takes, right?

Just the stem - is about a $40 repair.
If there is clockspring damage - you're looking at $75ish

mcdevito75 here, Sounds like you need the watch serviced, specially if not so in 2 years. Check the repair service directory here at Fix Ya, bottom of the page click on repair service directory then watches.

The serial number is usually engraved on the movement. If you open the back of the watch, you should be able to see it.

I looked at the Hamilton pocket watch site (in might be helpful if you visit the site, simply type "hamiltonpocketwatches.com" into your search engine and your will be able to examine photos of a number of movements).

The position and size of the number varies but it shouldn't take to long to find. One of the pictures I found impossible to see the number but the rest I found, although sometimes you had to look quite carefully.

It might be worth having the back of the watch removed to see if there is anything engraved on the movement.

You might find that cleaning the watch gets is going, although the advice of the watch repairer should be asked for on this, as it might be very worn and in need of new parts which are unlikely to be available.

If it works and there is information on the movement, you might be able to get some information on the watch from the maker. Visit their web site (www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/) and make an inquiry, giving them all the information that you have.

An interesting problem!

Good luck.

Yes, but for an authentic Jaeger-lecoultre watch it will be very expensive.

I would be happy to help. The problem is it is impossible to determine the value without seeing the watch(condtion is paramount). your best bet is to ship it Registered mail return receipt requested that way you have proof that it was received. I would think that that $5,000.00 insurance would most probably protect you. email me if you have any questions
