路路LemaniacBeen chasing a Lemania ref 9802 for some time now. Finally got it nailed!
Full picture some time later next week, but rotating inner bezel and 45mm across makes it very much a tool watch.
Had it not been due to the almost NOS condition of the case it could double as a hammer.

路There were a multitude of factors that occurred in this purchase.....
1) A dibs call by me to Kyle on this watch - and I've passed up a couple dibses that hurt recently. Well, not this time!
2) I sold a large hippocampus logo Seamaster last year, and it has bothered me since. Love those big sea monsters!
3) The Watch Gods must be appeased, and I was afraid I'd be in their dog house if I turned this one down.
4) It's in such excellent condition.
5) I never got that Seamaster XVI because I could never find one crisp enough. Gold is soft, but steel is more durable.
So I'll shut up now and give you the equivalent of 2,000 more words:

*edit (had to come back for more)
the facets on those lugs look like finished diamonds - i know this is sacrilege but I'd be afraid to wear that watch for I know the first day my wrist would be hunting for door knobs and latches, Oh,,,,,,yeah,,,,,,,DING!!!! I have bad luck

路Help? I don't where else to put this so this seems as good as any. The place where my wife buys costume jewelry bought this as a trade-in from another customer .
He bought it for $175 and sold it to me for the same. Claims this is the approximate value of the gold. Seems about right. The case is in surprisingly excellent condition.
I think this is a re-dial and there's a decent, original 370 dial for sale on eBay for 17 bucks from a dealer in PA.
The costume jewelry guy says he'll swap out the dial and install a new crystal for 25 bucks.
My question is: do you think the current dial is a re-paint or re-finish? I really can't tell and I know some of you are Longines wizards. By some of, I mean ulackfocus (and, others) Thanks.

Looks like a redial to me, but I'm no expert on these.

路With a delay of three weeks (after eMails and phone calls to Omega) and almost exactly 47 years after production, the EotA for my 321 finally arrived. Very happy, as everything matches and it looks like this Speedy is as original, as it can be (bracelet excluded, but i do have a matching 1039, that came with it):

The inside of a cal 23M also looks rather good IMO.
