Interesting to see how this Longines at Phillips sold for CHF 12,500 https://www.phillips.com/detail/LONGINES/CH080216/177 And this at Christies with a slightly tarnished dial selling for CHF 30,000 http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/...8624&sid=118ef7b3-c485-482d-9ea2-b6c0ec32c9b4 Both on the within the space of 24 hours. I haven't studied the movements etc. but was just a quick observation. Can anyone chime in perhaps?
Interesting question which I have myself as well. However: based on the published pictures (which are doctored (at least the C ones)) not easy to say. Some more pics of the Christie's one can be found at https://www.instagram.com/passion66sandra The Christies one seems to have a better dial than the Phillips one is my conclusion. Both dials are however ok but certainly not great. The quallity of the dial of the one in the previous Phillips auction was, albeit white, much better https://www.phillips.com/detail/LONGINES/CH080016/43. And for the fun of it a picture of mine:
Wow, certainly looks alot worse in the flesh...also the image and angle Phillips used was very unflattering, hard to get a good look. Nice one you have there yourself, been after one for awhile now ever since seeing a friends, congrats!
Well the only 37.5mm ones I have seen were at (big) auctions. Finding one at a decent price will not be easy I think. having said that: I was lucky I think
