    Have never sold before, only bought, so here goes. This is a nice late 50’s Longines with American 14k white gold case containing manual wind 19.4 movement. Had service with my watchmaker mid-2016 and I have wound a few times since then, but have never worn, hence why I should probably try and sell it. Case is 32mm without crown. Crown appears original and is appropriate for this model. Lugs are 17 mm, and I’ll ship with the purple croc band shown. It is croc, but super thin and nobody will mistake it for high quality. Tried to show the discoloration on the white dial, which has not been refinished. Diamonds are real, but pinky ring optional. As anyone in the jewelry business can tell you, small melee diamonds like these don’t have a ton of value. I am asking $450, PayPal and shipping costs included. Will ship USPS priority in US, but whatever seems safe and cheap overseas. Since my first sale, feel free to critique via PM as appropriate.

    Key stats:
    14k white gold (probably 9-10 grams, so ~200-230 melt value at current gold price ($39.05 at last check).
    32 mm without crown.
    19.4 manual wind movement, serviced 2016.

    One bump, then to the bay. Price drop to $400, no Paypal fees, etc, as above. These 14K watches tend to do better there with a less discriminating crowd ;)
