Good Day Guru! I have a LeCoultre Automatic and it keeps excellent time. My problem is that the face has deteriorated,flaking off. Is this watch worth repairing and where would one have this done? Best Regards, Ty Anderson

If its a good watch, take it to a watchmaker. Dont know to find one 30 yrs ago they were inevery city

The date changes around midnight and you can usually advance the date by going past midnight until the date changes and then turning the watch backward to a time shortly before midnight and then winding it forward again.

How far back you need to go you will have to find by experiment but it should not be very far.

good day,

Why does an "automatic" watch need winding?? SELL IT

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.

I presume they told you on E-Bay that the watch ran ok. If it was mis-representitive that's another story that you probably have some recourse through E-Bay to return and get you money back. If you are stuck with the watch, then it may just need a good cleaning by a reputible watch maker/repairperson. You can also purchase some rather inexpensive watch winding machines to keep the watch wound if you don't wear it all the time. Hope you get it working, Good Luck

This usually occur when the hairspring is disturbed ( some grease, dust particle, etc). Can be magnetized as well.
You need to find your nearest watch repairer and ask to overhaul your watch. After that it will run like new.

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