This Longines ref. 23439 'Sei Tacche' from 1948 (7.2mio serial number) has a nicely patined 'creme brulée' dial. It is a proper barn find, I just had the crystal (original spec thick one) and the spring (original Longines with T endpiece) replaced. The movement was also missing a screw - this has also been solved by sourcing an original replacement. Lovely blued hands, original lume. Full steel sharp 33.5mm step case, and original waterproof crown. It has a very nicely finished 12.68z manual wound caliber. Runs really well and is structurally completely fine. A service was not urgent - she runs at less than 30s deviation per day and winds smoothly.

This is a nice picture from when the crystal was not yet replaced:


And this picture nicely shows the finishing of the movement (note that this is prior to solving the missing screw issue):
