It was first sold in Vienna, through a small jewelry shop that closed in the early '70s. It was purchased by a local doctor, who specialized in dermatology. It was serviced once by the original owner, and... I'll need a photo or two in order to finish the history accurately!
OK a fine Longines dress-watch probably cal. 30(L) nothing special.....enjoy! http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Longines_30L
