    Dear OF,

    Up for sale is a stainless steel Longines from 1948 with a Calatrava-style sector dial. I have owned this watch for three years and it was last serviced in 2018, with a check by the watchmaker in 2019. My asking price is $650USD ONO via PayPal, which includes P/P fees along with tracked and insured shipping worldwide from Australia.

    Size: 30mm w/o crown and 32mm with crown. 37mm lug-to-lug, 16mm lug width. It wears much larger than what the numbers suggest, at least on my 6.5" (16.5cm) wrist. The watch will come with the pictured vintage seal leather strap, which is open ended. The tan colour compliments the dial nicely.

    Case condition: The stainless steel case and caseback have light marks and swirls from use, and the crystal has some light marks. The crown appears to be original. Drilled lugs are sharp although there is a small dent on the bottom left lug.

    Dial: The original sector dial has some patina with the inner circle giving a contrasting dial tone under light. The print on the dial is crisp and does not appear to have faded. Of note are some light scratches and a larger scratch at the 3 o'clock section. Blued hands are original.

    Movement: The Longines 10.68z with gold chatons is in good running condition, and the winding action is very satisfying. Snapback has the EFCO Longines symbol and is marked Acier Inox.
