14K YELLOW GOLD LONGINES TANK Serviced SOLD Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is a heck of a nice watch for the money. Some service centers charge this amount just for a service! Seriously, affordable watchmakers are hard to find and becoming quite scarce. Luckily, we have Wayne who does all of our wrist watches and Harlan who is doing our pocket watches and they usually charge less than $100 for most servicing. This is a solid gold tank in a small size, normal for the day but small by today's standard. The dial looks like an old refinish but there is not a lot of text to examine for detail. It has aged so if re-painted it was done a long time ago. Beautiful Longines in-house 9L movement is Swiss and dates to 1946 or 1947. Fully signed case is in great shape and the watch keeps good time as Wayne has fully serviced, oiled and timed it. The curved glass crystal is original from the era and does have some edge chips, although they are small. Glass wrist watch crystals are rare. The large crown is new and easy to grip. Takes a 14 mm strap which is a hard to find size and could be worn by either a man or a woman. Measures 20 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 9.5 mm thick. {$255} Item #5794
