I've been bitten well and true by the vintage longines bug... bagged my 2nd vintage in less than a month, this time a Cal 341 with a pretty unique dial.

The only other similar dial I could find online was another item for sale on the bay - that one had "Grand Prize" written above the 30s of the central dial.

Have I gotten a dud or a redial?! 🙁

Looks good to me. In fact, I know a certain moderator here who has been looking for one like that for a very long time.

Congratulation on a fine purchase,

Thanks for the reassurance! Any idea where I could get more info on Cal 341 models with such dials?

Actually, that moderator is looking for the caliber 294 model that has the power reserve meter in the center. This watch just happens to look like it, without the rotating meter.

There were a few different date-at-12 caliber 341 models including a Flagship, and even a date-at-6 Grand Prize. Yours isn't exactly rare, whether with or without "Grand Prize" on it. It is a nice example though, certainly not a redial. Any date at 12 is less common than a non-date or date-at-3 version.

That's the caliber 294 Power Reserve. 🥰
