Vintage Paul Le Grande Diver Watch w/Aged Dial,All SS Case,Runs FOR PARTS/REPAIR

Description

***********While the date and time can be set without issue and the crown winds beautifully, the movement runs sporadically.  I've observed it running strong and keeping accurate time for more than a 24 hour period on multiple occasions but I've also observed it stop inconsistently at other times.  A complete overhaul is needed.***********
This vintage Paul Le Grande has a black "T SWISS MADE T" signed dial that has aged beautifully.  In my humble opinion the pictures don't do it justice as its unique starry night landscape is truly special.  The lume, which remains fully intact and emits a quick burst glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully.  The all stainless steel bezel, which rotates smoothly bidirectionally, looks good
.
The all stainless steel case is in excellent condition
showing minor wear and oxidation.
The outside of the case back is stamped "SHOCKPROTECTED   WATERPRESSURE   TESTED 666 FEET   INCABLOC" with "ALL STAINLESS STEEL" followed by "SWISS MADE,""679" and "890760."
The crystal shows light scratching and some dust/debris on its underbelly.
While I normally show pictures of the movements of watches that I put up for sale, the case back on this one is torqued too tight for me to remove.
A skilled watchmaker will have no problems doing so.  The automatic
movement with quickset date function runs but does so sporadically
.  I've observed it run continuously, keeping accurate time over an approximate 25 hour power reserve period.
I've also observed it stop inconsistently
, but always start back up when the time is reset and with a few additional winds of the crown.  The quickset date function works flawlessly but manually rolling over a new date and then moving the hour hand repeatedly between the 20.5 and 24 hour marks until the desired date has been reached.  The crown winds buttery smooth.
Given that the movement runs sporadically a complete overhaul is needed.
This watch measures approximately 36 mm excluding the crown, approximately 39.5 mm including the crown and approximately 20 mm between the lugs.  Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel is approximately 8 mm.  Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 10 mm.
Given that the movement runs sporadically a complete overhaul is needed.  As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch.
Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time.
For this watch that time is now.  Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility.

Expedited and insured shipping will be provided.  Thanks for looking!
