Anyway, can alway post pictures when the project is finished if desired?

 

Yes.

I am sure I speak for everyone when I say that it would be a pleasure to see the finished product.

 

@DirtyDozen12 I better go ahead with it then

 

I think I would have this dial relumed....

 

I see what you mean and get your point. Not so sure though. First of all. Have no idea who are able to do a good enough job.

 

Also, I red somewhere in this thread about some watches that are engraved "13NZ" instead of "13ZN". My movement is marked "13NZ" and in order to spread some light over this matter I asked Longines "heritage department" regarding this issue.
Here are the respons witch makes sense, don't you think?

 

Not sure where you're located but James Hyman in the UK may be able to help

 

James Hyman is your man. Lume is shot anyway.

 

I did not know this, thank you for sharing

Now I also need a 13NZ

 

The Swedish stamp "3 shilling banco" in yellow was also a mistake

 

Found him. Will have a chat wit him. Thanks alot!

 

@Briboxkit congrats for your watch, it is really amazing.

 

Thanks. Yes, think it is one of those "once in a lifetime" moments.

 

Maybe your 5415 was a part of the same delivery to Hausammann as mine @Briboxkit



Looking forward to see the final result

 

Yes, saw that beauty the other day at "klocksnack" lovely piece! Mine was delivered to Terrasse though!?

 

Interesting, I know Hausammann was the agent for both Norway and
Sweden for a period, but I did not know there was a overlap with Terrasse.
Maybe a little confusion in the archives

 

Another question. This 5415 is, as far as I understand considered being midsize (37,5 mm). Regarding these different steel models, similar to this one, in what different sizes where they made?

 

The 13ZN came in cases ranging from ~34 mm to ~40 mm. 37.5 mm is considered large as most references are around 35/36 mm. There are not many other references with waterproof cases but I think that they range from ~35 mm to ~40 mm (only ref. 5699 is this large).

 

Thanks @DirtyDozen12 Is there any website or any other sources that present the different references regarding these old Longines chronograph, a bit like "on the dash" for Heuer? Have tried to do some searching without much success.

 

Nothing like on the dash but this site is where a lot of "common knowledge" comes from: http://watchexpertise.com/oldlonginespassion/Longines_Passion/Referenze.html Maybe I will do a thread on waterproof 13ZN references.
