Any idea what these are "Longines and Omega “Weems” Mk VIIA RAF"

For me, the Longines dial doesn’t ring true- original.

Agreed. Here are three more dials and hand sets for comparison. Not my images.

@Fost bonne chance!

The auction is over 😀
But if the dial of the longines is redone, I am lucky!!

anyone interested in the omega? i will take the longines 😀 we can split the cost 😁

Yes I’d be interested in the Omega, price dependant. Is the auction still live?

For posterity.

Well, that would have been out of my price range anyway.....

Now you can buy the Longines for the price of both. Here is the link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Longines...s-Watch-Cal-12-68N-Vintage-1940-/162961505233
As @LarryG warned, the minute hand is wrong and the dial does not compare well with other examples.

This is the smaller, American version of the dial, issued at roughly the same time. Agree that the Longines looks off.
