    Dear All :O)

    I'm looking at this Longines, I'm not an expert like many of you that's why I'm asking for some advice. My thoughts are that the dial is re-dial or not original, the caliber I have not idea. I realized that the reference on the caliber and on the case back are different so not matching case with caliber. Crown not original . What are your thoughts?
    thanks
    David

    Looks like a converted pocket watch with added 'name' on a redial

    I recall reading years ago, not sure which forum, that Cuervo y sobrinhos dials are extremely commonly faked.
    A bit like black vintage omega dials, assume they are redials until you prove otherwise.

    Thanks to all
    No picture of the interior case back but I won’t ask for it as the watch doesn’t look original at all
    Thanks again

    Converted pocket watch for sure. Not super nicely done, so my gut says pass

    The only thing Longines about this is the movement, which is genuine and designed to fit an early century pocket watch.

    Watches with subdials at the "9" position should always be of concern. Very few are legitimate.
