[Solved] Caliber ID

Hi Teecue, it looks like an old A. LeCoultre (the A is for Antoine LeCoultre) / Blancpain movement. Are there any other markings under the balance wheel or anywhere else? Maybe when you get it disassembled you can share your findings.

There are many similar movements out there, but with different bridge designs, etc.

Not sure what parts you need, but this movement (with a broken balance staff) looks identical.

If you can get larger/clearer images, please contribute them here for a caliber listing.

If anyone else is reading this, don't be a wallflower, join in the forum discussions! Can't do it all alone 😛

I can't see any other markings on the movement, I'll ask the watchmaker to take more photos when he takes it apart, assuming I can find a set lever. The watch in the link you provided does appear to be identical, and I've reached out to that seller. I was looking for a Blancpain movement, so it helps to know that the A. LeCoultre movement is the same.

Thanks for your help. I'll post an update when I get more information.

Sounds good!

That one is also signed Blancpain down by the crown, but you can probably just keep your original bridges and use the parts you need from the other one.
