For sale is an early Longines Flagship 102. The 10 million serial number places the date of manufacture around 1957, which would make this made in the first year of production for the Flagship model. This watch is equipped with the seventeen jewel, manual wind, 30L movement. It is running well and keeping time, though its service history is unknown, so it should be serviced if it is to be worn. It has the original signed Longines crown. The case is very sharp with no signs of polishing on the lugs. The dial has a pleasant champagne colored speckling with one much darker spot near the 52 minute mark. The crystal is cracked between the 2 and 3 mark and should be replaced when serviced. This listing is for the watch only, no strap, or bracelet included. I am asking $350.

35mm in diameter, 44mm from end of lug to end of lug, and 37 mm in diameter with the crown. It wears nicely on my 7 1/2" wrist.

I was going to say the same exact thing. Lovely patination and wonderful 30L movement.
