LeJour

First off, hello. I'm new to the forum and I'd like to say how impressed I am with the amount of info you provide.

Secondly, I have a couple of questions about Le Jour passadena's. Does anyone know much about them? I can't seem to find much info on them and 80% of what I have found is on here. What I'd like to find out is, is the Le Jour the same watch as the Heuer? I know they were made by Heuer but what about the build quality? I've just impulse bought one of ebay in new old stock condition because it reminded me of my brothers Olive green heuer 1000 series which he had in the 80's.
I had no idea that Lejours were built by Heuer so it's a total bonus.
As the watch is 30 odd years old, is there anything I need to do to it to keep it healthy. It's described as perfect working order. Should it be serviced because of its age?
And lastly, is it possible to get spares like extra links in black or arethey a hens teeth type object?

Many thanks for your time

Jamie.
