    Restoration : Jaeger Lecoultre 6b/159

    A little before and after of my freshly serviced 6b, a grail watch for me. Seen these in London dealers a few times with all the chrome rubbed off or with dark dials. Always wanted one so bidded on eBay for this (not sure what year it is?):





    I sent it to Richard @ the watch spot for service, he was hugely reluctant to do it based on the lack of parts etc out there but he weaved his magic:



    And sent the case of to Replate it in Canada:



    Richard fitted a wider, new crown that snuggly fit to the side of case, which just adds perfectly to the look.

    This isn't a long story but it was a long wait. It was worth it however:



    1950s brown leather or modern black?
