Vintage Le Jour Dive Watch Questions

[dnm82]

Hi all! I picked this up on EBay. Has a really nice tropical dial hiding under there. It was well used by a diver based in Florida. I’ll need to source a crown.

No reference number on the back and I can’t get the case open. It ticks after I shake it. Has a nice robust all-steel case. Any idea the reference number or other info? What movement would be in this? Any help with the info is much appreciated!

Best,
Daniel

If you have a good vintage watchmaker you use let him take a look at it. He can give you a quote for a service and parts needed like crystal and crown and maybe a stem. Parts are tough to find on vintage watches avoid fixer upper’s needing parts better if all it needs is a movement service. If a bezel missing avoid had a problem with a Doxa 300 missing the bezel. Also sometimes the service and parts cost more than watch been there. Good luck on getting it running again.
