·Hola Longines OFers!
Been awhile and have paused on my collection for quite a while now as it was getting a little out of hand costwise and with rising costs of living, but saw this 13zn at a pretty reasonable price that may make me make an exception.
I'm more of a dial guy in terms of eval and going through the first 15 or so pages of this thread did not see any examples with the Longines logo in san-serif as this example has which is bringing me to think redial. But i do know that that logo was sometimes used in the 40s as well so wanted to get some of your thoughts and hopefully blessings before I pull the trigger.
Have no idea how to evaluate watch movements and so far for all my conquests and flagships have been relying on the right movement ref etchings so would appreciate any help!
I've seen quite a few of these in the late 1990's. Can't remember , who made this batch. Either Bethge in Germany or Soni in the UK. Not well executed.

·Hi, thanks very much for your input. I have also never seen such a two-tone dial on a 13 ZN so I wonder about the short hands. The dial has copper toned feet. The Longines font is quite large, too large for this 1930s period? And yes, the comparison with your example shows a polished case, I see.

nice french-cased 13zn, not an expert but looks nice.
several similar references shown here, I would guess that this would not extract as well, as longines would have used another steel case to export to france.
is the movement number within range? 6.73 mil from what I see.

·Yes, 6,73xxxx seems to be a correct number for a 13ZN for the French market. The stamped "M" (see picture) also supports this.

Pretty!
BTW I found the missing part for mine. Of course, it has to me modified to function properly, some tricky work involved...

·Here are some photo collages, well (or badly😅) focused on sub-dials (all original), which could help to evaluate the originality of a "13ZN-12 sommatore" dial (ref.5161 or 5966).💪🤞

·I think very few 5161s were made with a black dial...In my lifetime, I’ ve only seen one (even held in my hand), in Madrid many years ago.
I am asking the owner if I can post a picture, and if he he allows, I will.👍

·Hello. My dad was a watchmaker for 40 plus years. Never paid too much attention to his collection of watches. Even after he passed. Our family just never got over his passing and we never touched any of his watches. 15 years later. We are starting to uncover everything he had. He had this in his safe deposit box. I went through all 57 pages in this forum. Fascinating information. Really enjoyed the read. I am curious of the provided pictures. I couldn't find a similar dial in the pages I read. Its aged badly. But if this watch is original. I would like to get this serviced and wear it as is. I personally really like the aged/patina/damaged look.
