    After missing out on a Longines Cal 23Z case a couple of weeks back, this popped up on eBay:

    @blacksharpie - I was going to give you a "Like" right up to the part about putting that watch on a NATO. :taunt:

    Mrs G was absolutely correct. :thumbsup:

    Hi

    I used to have a centenary 2500 years ago . I think I sold it to a forum member here !

    I saw a 2499 and remembered the one my watchmaker bought it presented thicker then the 2500 and I always thought it was cooler and only 2000 examples . So I bought it , case appease not to have been polished just worn and bezel is sharp and with some nicks and scratches lugs thick and have edge on bottom of case . Appears to have original signed crown. The dial is original with some age an a scratch or dot or two ... Crystal was changed to a high dome will see when I can find a low rise crystal for it sometime in the future . The original gold spring bars were not present ....

    I have not a chance to pop off the back yet but sellers photos showed it to be proper 28.10 JUB !

    These first run JUB movements are special in my book .

    Good hunting

    My Heuer run continues. Added a Carrera 2447N second execution with some dirt and scratches but great bones. After a servicing and a new crystal, should be a gorgeous example!
