$170 USD Longines All-Guard

I have a silver dial All-Guard. It runs and keeps time. Like many vintage examples, the service history is unknown, and it is being sold as-is. When I found it, it looked...sad.

I replaced the crystal (which revealed a decent original dial), replaced the minute and hour hand (kept the short sweep seconds hand), replaced the corroded stem (no other corrosion I can see) and crown (which was probably not original in the first place).

The case has rounded edges from wear and has small nicks all over. I gave it a sympathetic polish on the flat surfaces (to keep from further rounding of the edges). I didn't like the shine so gave it a satin finish befitting of its age and overall condition. I did not remove two small initials that appear to have been placed there by its previous owner with a hand-held engraver.

Ask me why I love it? I feel like I rescued it. But I'm moving on. Taste being subjective, I must say this style is my favorite of the 50's. I like these even more than the spectacularly handsome beefy-lug Seamasters. There. I said it.

$240 USD. Price includes USPS Priority Mail, insurance extra. I will ship ONLY TO A US ADDRESS. PayPal accepted at no extra cost to you. I am not interested in trades. I can be reached (best) by e-mail: metersfirst AT gmail DOT com. Thanks! Bryan Brooks

And yes I'll include the dark brown Italian Crocodile strap since it still has lots of life (even though I buffed off the sheen to match the watch).

If you reside outside the US I will sell the watch to you, but I will need to ship it to a US address (friend/relative/colleague/agent?)

***PRICE REDUCED*** $170 USD
I have a beautiful Conquest in hand now. Consequently I have little interest in these now. Not giving them away, but close!

Be sure to see the other All-Guard for sale, also substantially reduced!

Looks original to me, but I have been fooled before. Apologies to anyone put off by my claim.

I hereby amend the description to read, "appears to be older refinished dial."

The price is unchanged.

Thanks Tony!

Is it still for sale? Very interested.

Long gone. Thanks for the interest.
