·For sale or trade is a 1958 Longines Flagship 103 reference with a 30LS movement. The case is in very nice, unpolished condition with sharp lugs and a nice Flagship engraving on the case back. The dial has developed some patina and has a small stain at 11 o'clock. The movement runs, winds, and sets well, but service history is unknown. See below for information on the watch from the Longines archives (delivered to Japan in 1958). Price is $525 (reduced from $600).
Please see below for more details, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Dial: Original, non-refinished dial has developed light patina throughout and has a small stain on the edge near 11 o'clock. Dial is a fairly uncommon no-lume (non-radium) variant.
Case: Original 35mm 103 reference case is in very nice, seemingly unpolished condition. The case shows light wear but has no significant scratches or dings. The bevels on the lugs and Flagship etching on the caseback are in very nice condition.
Crown: Original signed crown.
Crystal: Original (I believe) crystal. It has micro-cracks so should probably be replaced.
Movement: Original 30LS caliber movement dates to 1958. The movement runs, winds, and sets well, but service history is unknown so a service is recommended prior to regular use.
Strap: Comes on the 17mm deBeer brown leather strap pictured.
Price is $525 (reduced from $600). Open to trades for nice non-radium 50s or early 60s Seamasters, Constellations, Geneves, Conquests, and Flagships (see my WTB/WTT here). I'll cover insured US shipping, international shipping is available but cost to be discussed with buyer. Transferwise is preferred for payment. OF seller reviews are here. Returns are accepted if watch is grossly misrepresented. Watch is located in the USA.
