And here's the reply I got from Longines:
"Regarding the reference of your watch, we have analyzed the subject with our watchmakers and we conclude that both references are the same. So, it is probably that the case back of your watch was not changed.
We hope this information will be of help to you and remain at your entire disposal for any further information you may need.
Truly yours,
Cayetano Selfa
Brand Heritage"
So Longines are now acknowledging what we thought all along; 9027 deluxe watches were originally fitted with a 9025 caseback.
