Thanks, agree, the first watch should have the same case with downturned lugs from ca. 1945, I suppose, saw it some times in the forum. The second one has a typical military crown, so I believe the crown on the first one could be more correct to the watch. But nevermind, think the crown looks quite good in case of a replacement. I could live with that.

 

Looking for a 50s dial and hands for a 37mm Longines project with 12.68z movement.
Anyone have one over or maybe a nonworking 37mm watch or bad a cased watch with better dial?

 

WELL SPOTTED

 

You should have it redialed properly using good pictures on line. A very nice example was recently sold on auction with a beautiful black dial you could use as an example for the correct patterns.

On another note - - a terrible redial sold with a supposed "certificate of authenticity" - which is in fact a simple extract of archives.

This one looks problematic as the number on the inside of the case back doesn’t appear to match that on the underside of the lug. Also quite over polished.

Love how they conveniently leave the dial out of the description.

 

Hi guys, do you think you can help me out?, a friend of mine is selling me this longines at around $600 usd, but im not sure if it is refinished, i could not find any reference online about this pariticular model or the movement, any help will be appreciated. thank you!

 

What a nice "friend" you got!

 

Run away....

 

Landeron 148 movement in a Longines? Total fake.

 

Hahaha youre right

 

Thanks man

 

Thats what I was thinking, but I couldnt find what the movement was, Thanks

 

I wanted to post this here just in case someone didn't catch that there is an anomaly.

The seller states that the dial is changed.

The dial lettering seems original, just not contemporaneous. I actually appreciate how they managed to do that.

Longines... "Quartz" on the dial and a manual hand-wound movement?
Surely the dial is changed.

 

Looks like a 90s Longines dial with wrong hands for that dial as well

 

The movement/dial below has been retrofitted into an incorrect, 4914 case. Hour/minute and second hands are incorrect too. So is the crown.

Too bad for that pretty dial...
