·For sale is an uncommon solid 14k white gold Longines Admiral automatic dating to the 1960s. Please see below for details, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Dial: Original sunburst dial has some light scratches and marks.
Case: Original ~33.5mm solid 14k white gold 69-234A case is in nice condition for solid gold and appears to be unpolished. The lugs and medallion on the caseback are nice and sharp. The top-right lug appears to be ever so slightly bent - it's not very noticeable in person and it could be bent back if desired. There's also a ding in the caseback.
Crown: Original signed crown.
Crystal: Crystal has some light scratches and crazing. You could have it replaced or leave it.
Movement: Original in-house Longines 340 caliber movement runs, winds, and sets well, but service history is unknown. I don't have movement photos since it's a unishell case so I can't open it, and I haven't had a watchmaker do so. I did however receive movement caliber and serial number details when I bought it. Serial number (1262969) dates to 1965.
Strap/buckle: Comes on the 17mm brown deBeer leather strap and stainless steel buckle pictured.
Price is $625 (reduced from $799). I'll cover insured US shipping, and international shipping is available but cost is to be discussed with the buyer. Bank transfer/Transferwise or PayPal goods and services are okay for payment (buyer covers fees for PP). OF seller reviews are here. Returns are accepted if the watch is grossly misrepresented. Watch is located in the USA.
