Try this for size - not exploded but might be a help:

Hi there,

 

I have restored several 467.2 caliber JLC's maybe i can help ? I don't have a parts list but i may be able to point you in the right direction.

 

Below is one i have recently finished, i presume this is the watch you are referring to ?

Thank you for your kind offer. If i do indeed get stuck i will certainly contact you .

 You have made a great looking job of the restoration of this watch . It has a dial quality that i have never seen .

 Most of the 467/2 calibers that i have seen have a peeling dial and destroyed lume on hands and dial .

 Have you managed to locate a source of spare parts for these watches ? I understand if you wish to keep that info to yourself. 

 Thanks again for your input 

 

 Regards

I used to stock several 467/2 complete movements and dials but over the years they have sold to collectors and those looking to repair them, now i only have two balance staffs left ( which i keep handy ;) ).

 

It is quite common for the JLC military watches to have poor dials, which is of course in part to the fact it is a painted dial. I did read a document many years ago that mentioned the paint they mixed for most of the dials was mixed incorrectly and that is in part the cause for such bad lift and cracking, whether it is true who knows. The white faced one i have pictured above took me sometime to restore but in the end i was happy with the result, the black one next to it is slightly less pretty but took longer ( the one on the right is an Omega ).

 

Cousins here in the UK has a good supply of parts i believe but other than them i think it is quite hard to source parts for this caliber.

 

Just incase you or anyone else needs to replace a balance staff on one of these movements and cannot get hold of an original i have included the Ronda reference number for the correct balance staff below.

You are more than welcome to contact me if you require help in the future.
