Looks to be a regular 30L rebadged as a FlagshipPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network with a worked-over dial and an ill-fitting caseback.

[corrected: a redial. Otherwise original.]

Here's a rare admiral, looks like they used a sharpie to write 'Longines' on the dial.

 

It would be interesting to hear from @Tony C. as I wonder if this is simply a redial.

 

It may well be an original Flagship with a poor redial. That is a correct type for a ref. 102, though the lugs don't appear to have the chamfers. They may have been polished out.

 

Another image.

 

Yes, definitely a Flagship. Would be fine with a correct dial scavenged from another example.

 

Thanks all.

 

I this is a picture of a real Greenlander.my uncle bought it in the 1960s at an MoD sale and I wore it as a school and college watch for 10 years. since then it has been in the drawer..

 

Hi there, could be a real Greenlander at first blush but we're missing case back shots (inside and outside) as it needs to have the proper markings and movements.
This is not the place for an inquiry, you should create a separate thread. This is a place to flag watches which are problematic.

 

This watch on Instagram is wrongly claimed to be a miiitary Longines A11.

It does have the proper case and case back but a completely wrong dial and hands, and a wrong replacement crown.

The dail should be two tone and sterile (no Longines mark on it), with blued minute and hour hand and red seconds.

Also the movement should be 10L with USAAC marked on the bridge.

 

hi I'm sorry if I offended anyone by putting the Greenlander on this thread.it's just that I find the best way to tell if something is dodgy is to compare it with the real thing. I know this watch is 100% and Uleic ofEngland thought it was the best dial he seen in a long time.

No offense taken but it just may not be the clearest way to get your message across. Also one cannot say anything definitive about a watch, especially military issued, without pictures of the back and the movement.
Thank you for sharing your picture though, from what we can see it is beautiful indeed.

 

Pictures / account seem to have been removed

 

Well for the record I had saved it. Created a separate thread for the sake of visibility but here it is. It's kind of scary how many people on Instagram will "like" a completely wrong watch.

 

At least, the case was correct! The case back is fine and there is also a difference between regular weems upper cases and the A11 issued ones. This one is the correct A11 version.

 

Clearly refinished dial on auction.

A bad redial. I think I see the circular print overlap the hour markers at some places.

 

Same watch was discussed here....

Maybe the buyer is re-selling it?
