Jaeger-LeCoultre ref E 329 on the wooden beam

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : July 26th, 2017-07:28
Friends, On of the more elegant watches from the late 1950s. Crosshair dial, automatic, date - super modern at this point in time! The Jaeger-LeCoultre ref E 329 on the wooden beam. Elegant but with a quirk - odd dates in white, even dates in black! Mirro...  

Love that one ;)

It's absolutely gorgeous my friend and in splendid shape and condition

I love a lot its Dauphine hands and, more particularly, the second tiny one, applied indexes and, last but not least, the black date which offers a great contrast. The double crosshairs is to die for too and... particularly well enhanced on your wooden be...  

That's no crosshair....

Looks great I must find where that wooden beam is as it always seems to have stunning watches on it. Think it must be the horological equivalent of the end of the rainbow Cheers JML

Hi, I just picked one up silly cheap on a make an offer bid on eBay France . it needs a revision and I must try and do something with those hands..i'm confident the sub second rust spot can be easily rid of..No sign of water damage to the movement, it's j...  

Congrats!

Yes, made not super rare but rare. Please come back and show us after service! Best Blomman

It's back!

It's back! The rusting round the sub dial pinion has gone (along with a bit of the dial finish..but i can live with that. Only visible at certain angles.. ...  

Well, my friend.. Really nice pic !.. & as you asked for some sisters, here 2 shots with 329-greetings.. Really love this Ref.. :))

it always is such a big pleasure to have this one on the wrist: Even days - white date on black; Uneven days - black date on white. Low key but classy Connoisseurs' choice ...  

Indeed, Connoisseurs' choice ! :) [nt]

before and after pics

 
 By: Mike Malcolm : March 11th, 2018-04:04
Just thought I'd gratuitously post before and after pics side by side (sorry for the bad quality) to show my watch guys skill. Dials are notoriously hard to clean without damaging them..In my experience however localised rust spots and melted rubber watch...  

Well done!

Congrat for having it back! Best Blomman

Nice job!!! [nt]
