Closer look at Longines ref 9001

Unfortunately, it has a damage on the dial at 4. I have previously seen similar damage to an Conquest 1957.

Lovely watch. As my uncle liked to say, “A man on a galloping horse .......”.

For a 60 year old watch, it’s minimal marking. If it was too perfect you’d worry about some sort of redial/repair.

I’m not dibsing, I have the heritage conquest but, if I hadn’t, I would.

Thanks. I agree with you.
The damage is so small on another absolutely perfect dial so I have accepted that it is there. Someone might have thought of a repaint but it's not something I like
