·This wonderful watch is for sale for the right buyer. I am possibly parting with it to fund another watch purchase, but it does not háve to go.
For sale:
Marine Nationale delivered Longines ref. 5774
Diameter: 33.5 mm crown excluded
1947
Head only, lugsize is about 17mm
Worldwide shipping through UPS and with Secursus insurance
Longines manual wound cal. 12.68N
Price: 1.820 euro net to me
This Longines MN is quite a rare piece in this condition. Most have dials which are far more deteriorated. It dates to 1947. The radium dial is beautiful. It shows a nice even patina. The blued hands are wonderful. All lume in hands and on numerals is intact. The full 33.5 mm stainless steel step case is sharp and unpolished. Note that the upper left lug is very slightly displaced (0.2mm). The caseback is good and shows clearly the MN engraving. Everything is original, including crown. The original crystal was discolored and a bit cracked (yet included in the sale) and was replaced by a correct spec replacement with exactly the same domed shape. The watch was a proper French barn find. A full service was executed by my watchmaker, in which the T-spring was replaced by an original Longines one. It runs wonderfully.
