    Serviced and warrantied.
    New to Longines, like the dial would have perhaps expected gold hands but with a steel case ?
    I know enough about the 12.68zs to appreciate if serviced it is a pretty hardy movement - only image but if anyone would like to hazard a ball park figure as to value it would be appreciated.

    I'd need to see more to give any estimate of a safe price to buy it at. Questions about the dial's originality, potential replacement parts and possibility of frankenness can't be answered with one small pic. Off hand, I'd say it's a redial because of the position of SWISS MADE.

    Thanks Dennis,
    A couple of other shots available but quite vague. FS in an antiques shop some distance away at £290 and wondering if it was worth our while on our travels making a detour ?
    The dial was certainly a new one on me etc. - buyer beware ?

    £290 / $440 is a little high for a non-series and non-military 12.68 with a refinished dial. It kinda goes without saying that most experienced
    collectors would pass simply because of the redial. If I needed it for parts, I'd pay
    £150 / $225 tops. If by some miracle I had a correct NOS dial and the rest of the watch was completely correct I could see going up to £200 / $300 TOPS.
