·Be interesting to see what the dial looks like without the crystal. Also would like to see pictures of the movement and inner back. Can you tell us what the diameter is?

·Nice watch, love the dial. Very interesting it has fixed lugs, I assume that it may have a military history to it....very curious. Thatnks for sharing.

·Military and 14k gold?
Maybe the Longines heritage department has the answer.

··MWR Tech Support DeptGreetings,
Fixed lugs don't mean a watch is military.
There are many civilian watches and chronographs which have fixed lugs without being military.
Many if not most of my civilian Longines from that period have fixed lugs, including some ladies watches.
This is a stunning, civilian chronograph.
Best regards,
S

··MWR Tech Support DeptPS- OP my hunch is that if you can afford it, you should strive to get it.
Howver before you commit such funds you must try to understand why it's not working, have it inspected by a watchmaker who knows vintage chronograph movements and who can tell whether any critical parts are missing or whether its oils are simply seized up.
How experienced are you when it comes to restoring vintage watches?
I'm not sufficiently well versed into chronographs myself, but suspect 13ZN parts or donor movements are exceedingly hard to find and expensive. So it really boils down to your financial wherewithal.
I'm sure you can resell it easily if you run out of steam to someone who has more parts, connections etc.
No matter what you do with it you should be extremely cautious who you entrust it to as a chronograph like this should only go to a consumate professional with a proven track record of dealing with watches like this.
