    It’s hard to see a watch like this go, but I just can’t keep all of them!

    This is a beautiful, recently serviced, Wittnauer automatic in excellent condition, and with the perhaps the most dazzling dial I have ever seen!

    The 34mm case appears to be unpolished, with long, sharp and beautifully sculpted chamfered lugs. Lug to lug length is 44mm.

    The silver sunburst dial changes character depending on light, but dazzles every way.

    The movement, a 17 jewel, 11NS1 runs quite well, and with good amplitudes as tested on my Timegrapher. This is consistent with recent ‘full overhaul’ service, which is what I was told by the previous seller, a very well-known and well-respected chap. His listing from October of 2017 has some excellent movement pics, as well as others. His description of the watch is quite entertaining as well! https://www.retrowatchguy.com/colle...s-longines-wittnauer-gents-automatic-serviced

    This fine ‘Witty’ comes on the lightly used allig-lizard strap seen in the photos.

    The sale price includes continental US shipping and sales fees. Return is allowed for up to 3 days if watch is not as described herein, and it must be in exact condition in which it left my home. Outside continental US, you may PM me for fees for shipping, and the watch is not returnable.

    Thank you for looking!

    That dial is spectacular!
    How the heck do you execute something like that?
    This piece of art won't last long.

    I don't know much about these, but can confirm they have super fun dials. Here is mine - albeit not in as nice shape as yours!
