    I still have a handful of watches that need new homes, and this next one is one of a few I acquired from the incorrigible and dearly beloved (by most) @ulackfocus . It's a 1959 Longines ref. 1067 caliber 19A.

    Of note, is the lack of a bezel. I lost it somewhere in the house, and I can't find it ::facepalm2::... If it ever shows up, I will send it straight on to the buyer..:)

    I'm sure if Dennis was still around and he saw this ad, he'd change the note under my avatar to 'Ulackbezel' :rolleyes:.

    At any rate, the watch still doesn't look too bad, even without it! I've tried unsuccessfully to find a replacement, but so far to no avail. My ask is lowered accordingly. Otherwise, the watch is in very nice condition.

    This dial to me, is quite representative of Longines hey-day in design. Unique and beautiful, with 'web' lines radiating from the center, vertical brush surface, and shiny steel 'leaf' hands.

    The SS case is 33.4mm across not including crown (or bezel :p).

    The caliber 19A runs well ~+20s/D with good amplitudes, but it hasn't been serviced in my 3-year possession.

    The crystal has a very small crack/blemish just right of 12-o-clock.

    Please check out all of the photos, as they are also an important part of the description. If you'd like more, or you have any questions, please send me a PM.

    Payment can be FTF (I'm in Atlanta), wire, bank transfer service (e.g., Zelle), or PayPal confirmed. 3-day inspection is allowed, but return must be on your dime, and with watch in same condition.
