    Hi

    Just wondered if anyone knows anything about these Dr's Longines watches, I think I have seen the model before a few years ago but never took notes, this is the only pic I have to go on at present, price is £4k

    To me it looks a nice porcelain dial although the Longines logo is a little worn & the track missing at 6 like where the 3 & 9 sub-dials are is a little odd ..

    Interesting watch. Not liking the logo. Rest of the dial looks alright. Hands?

    Hi

    I think the logo font is correct, just the L & G tails & the S worn off, but it does look a bit slanted, also seems the same font as used on the 30 Pulsations watch, & other early Longines chronos

    But I cannot find ref to another 25 Pulsations, hands look ok to me

    Regards

    I think it's ok ... here is my 13.33 as a reference. Your watch is not a redial .... just that Longines is at an odd angle.

    This has the makings of a compete fake. Movement and case pics would be nice though. That signature and a pump-pusher at twelve spell trouble. Stay away!

    @Mr.H If @DirtyDozen12 says stay away, stay away. I am guilty of distracted commenting here.

    Hi

    Thanks I wasn't about to jump on it but have asked for a full set of pictures & will post them asap ... I'm sure I've seen a top pusher Pulsations before but was probably the same watch

    Regards

    Sorry... I was wrestling with a thorny business issue yesterday and not really thinking clearly. Bad time to get involved in an "is this real discussion" ::facepalm1::

    As someone has said in another thread, that "Longines" logo looks like it's been drawn up with a Sharpie marker.

    Shameless. Etsy eh? Well I guess it's "artisanal" since it is a made up watch.

    And it sold, movement serial was 170836 & apparently the inside case-back was unmarked
