    Not sure if there are any collectors here that own or wish to part with theirs.
    Specifically looking at the 1st (v92), 2nd (7730, 7733) or 3rd (7734 date version).
    Have seen several transitional versions between the 2nd and 3rd. Happy with that too:)

    Likelihood small I know. But I see them pop up now and again.
    Many thanks for the space OF.

    Edit above. Am also extending to the Yema Croisiere.
    Am most likely speaking French.
    But to those that know, would love to hear from you :thumbsup:

    Nice example. A common watchmakers mistake on these - upside-down minute counter. Sweep seconds should be lume free as well. Below is my 1966 LeJour (Valjoux 7730). Yema sold Yachtingraf's under LeJour brand in North America. Good luck with your hunt, they do turn-up from time to time.

    Ah yes. Very much aware in advance of purchase:) But still made me smile:)
    Seems the watchmaker during the service 'thought' the lume had fallen out. So funny. And indeed upside down registry hand. Thankfully a very easy fix to both.
    Hunt now complete. The coffee cup watch is now on my wrist.
    Great looking Le Jour
