    I have wondered if it’s in its original case. Gorgeous watch though.

    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! :D

    Thank you! I bought it for £200 so it’s fine for it to be nothing special

    I suspect a slight linguistic nuance here - aesthetically your watch is the distilled essence of Longines, and as such it is superbly beautiful. For 200£/€/$ I would want to wear that a lot! Thanks for posting :rolleyes:
