Title: Rare Oversized Stainless Steel Longines, Circa 1947 Serviced
Description: EXCELLENT condition. One of the coolest vintage Longines wristwatches I have seen. There are several obvious differences, which make it special. The size is over large and the case material, for a dress watch is out of the ordinary. In addition, the design is extra nice with the long fancy lugs and finally the condition. I have it graded as EXCELLENT but it is obvious that this piece was not sold or worn, but passed around at a watch show or two with some scuffs and a couple of nicks only. No wear on the watch or the original strap to speak of. The piece has its original glass crystal as well. A caveat is the refinished dial and the painted hands. Original signed crown. Signed snap back, which is very tight. The hand wound Longines Caliber 12.68Z has some corrosion as seen in the close-up photo (click on the small image to the left for the close-ups) but it has been fully serviced, oiled and timed and it is keeping very good time showing less than 15 seconds daily positional error according to our timing machine. Steel dress watches of this size and from this period are scarce and highly collectable. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$575} Item #3967 SOLD ML
