Hi all,
decided to offer my Longines 8888 from 1964, with a 30l manual winding caliber inside.

This is a watch I purchased in 2022 from a local fellow collector. Over the years, I have probably worn it no more than 30 times. It is in very good overall condition.

The reference 8888 is one of the most classic 30L models. Its 35mm stainless steel case (excluding the crown) and original ivory dial, which remains almost immaculate, perfectly embody the proportions and aesthetics of vintage Longines from that era.

The watch is entirely original down to the smallest detail. The stainless steel case has retained its original shape, and the manual-winding 30L movement was serviced when I purchased the watch and is still running perfectly today. It retains its original crown and original handset. Lug width 18mm.

The sale includes a Longines Extract from the Archives, as well as a good-condition leather strap fitted with an original period Longines buckle.

Please ask me via pm for any doubt about the watch. I will reply as fast as possible.

Watch and me are located in Rome, Italy. Given conditions and service I'm asking 500 euros net to me. I can ship everywhere within EU with DHL Express and additional insurance by Secursus. Overseas transactions are welcome with shipping costs and modality to be decided with buyer.
Payment via bank wire strongly preferred, a face to face in Rome is possible.

I have some good feedbacks so far on OF at the following links both as buyer and seller, but plenty of references from other international fora and ebay can be provided if needed:

I have tried to provide photos taken in different lighting and environmental conditions so you can get an idea of the overall genuine originality and condition of this watch.
But, before pics, thanks a lot OF for the opportunity and thanks you all for looking.
