Another tool that you might just find in a co-op is the Sherline lathe, these can be used for making watch parts, and are very popular with modelers. They come stock as a manual machine and can be set up with motors and a controller as a CNC machine. Not the same animal as a watchmakers lathe, but capable of much the same kind of work.

Very nice job on this,...overpaid?...Only if you have found other ones but these are rare....well done.

Sold mine a few months ago, replaced it with a Witschi. I will ask the buyer if he can copy the manual for you, just send me a pm

nice project....any chance of some images?

Not sure that those are the same? That is Cal 497. Not cal 479. Found one but a hefty price at $115 plus shipping. Not giving up yet though. But could take some time. I am not married so why not be married to a Jeager le coultre? Could be worse Think the owner could take back some money if he sells the movement and the dial and hands. Someone that has the right tools could probably make a new axle. Something i can't. Not yet anyway.

These cheap timegraghers are limited but for what they are, they are excellent. As Jdm said, let it run for a while. Then try in the 3 positions, crown up, crown down, vertical with crown to the left. If no better send the watch back if possible. Spinnaker are very good value with a sound movement, normally. If you need too, a replacement movement is around £40 including tax and postage Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

Hello, There are many reliable shops online for purchasing genuine pieces at discounted prices. It is important to research the site you plan to purchase from, and I suggest purchasing a low priced piece to have a look at how the process goes and what kind of product you receive before making any large investment. Another good evaluation of a reliable watch source is to email them as well as call them for inquiries and further information about the piece you're interested in. The reliable sources are very knowledgeable and will take the time to work with you as their customer. If you have any doubts, ask that their return policy be emailed to you so you have it in writing, but my experiences have fortunately been very positive purchasing online. Known as the "gray market," you're purchasing a genuine product without the manufacture's warranty (or exuberant price), however many online shops offer their own warranty on the product (Jomashop out of New York for example). Hope this helps!

Thank you oldhippy and Anilv for the welcome. I am a little bit opposite now Anilv as I can no longer work on the bikes and cars due to illness but the eyes are ok....SO FAR.
