or aluminum could be aluminum

 

cleaned not redialed they look cleaned (dodgy lume dots) but generally ok..

 

they have been high before.. and that watch looks like it needs a crystal ring..

Longines dials of the 1930s and 1940s were not made of aluminum.

 

Dirty Dozen 12.. im not saying that particular dial is 100% but dials were made of aluminium.. military watch man? particularly obvious example is the Lemania HS9 15cht its why so few of them are surviving in GOOD condition it burns through them.. dont see why Longines could not have experimented with aluminium. Same era

 

I don't doubt that dials were made of aluminum but this thread is about Longines. And Longines dials from the period that I outlined were not made of aluminum. The white/silver feet that you see on redials is from a silver (or some other material) plating on the original brass. Some dials from the early 1930s were also made of silver but these all have a particular style.

 

India classic

 

Experiments may have been conducted but such speculation is not useful for assessing the vast majority of watches (again I am only referring to Longines of the aforementioned period). These hypothetical pieces would not represent any sort of norms.

 

aluminium dial 30s longines

Blatantly obvious redial.

This dial is from the 1950s.

 

i understand what you are saying but also consider how bloody unlikely it is that they did not use the dial that is ALREADY there..

aluminium

 

right last one then im off..


found this on OF

 

By posting the two dials above, and claiming that they are aluminum, you have lost all credibility on this matter. Below are the dial feet of both watches. And both dials are in fact made of brass as expected. You are simply inventing information to support your argument.

 

This one should be painfully obvious but the bidding, thus far, seems to suggest otherwise.

that is a half arsed attempt

 

So I'm seeing sub dial registers as the give away. Am I right? Plus position of outer scale?
