A big part of the attraction is the tubes, glad I reminded you. Helping others spend some cash is what it's all about 馃槈

What's a tube watch? I know, I am a total neophyte.

The lume is in tubes on the markers and hands instead of painted on.

Man, there were jokes to be made and I passed. Could have taken the surfing angle, could have tried to pull something like the lume is made with toothpaste, etc.

Up to now my Longines collection have been rather thin. I am a sucker for structured and elaborate dials, and when this one came up for auction I just could not resist. 馃グ
If this one does not clean up well I am going to be very surprised (and extremely disappointed).

Very nice, clean hands with great looking and intact lume...did you buy that off Zaf?
Here is one from his band of brothers:

they do seem to hold up well don't they!!!

I bought mine because it had a WW2 BuShips plastic strap on it which I needed for my Elgin canteen.... the Bulova was a bonus.

Very nice catch - even has the original crown! 馃憤 Was this on the Bay or a local board? Can't you just stick to your Lemanias and not join the hunt for vintage Longines? 馃槣

By coincidence, mine's on my wrist today!

Local board purchase.
It is not that often I get stuff from the bay anymore. Too many other predators lurking there.
I hope my new Longines will turn out just as nice as yours! 馃憤
It will be a couple of weeks before I can post a WRUW pic as it is being sent directly to my watchmaker for a service.

I will keep my focus still on Lemania, but I always keep an eye open for other favorites: Zenith, Omega, Longines, JLC, UG to name a few.
