Hi, I am enamored with this watch but can't find any specs or other info. It seems later than the Lindbergh and Weems famous versions. Any guidance appreciated. Bill

Found some Siderograph from around 1938 with the same face through Google.

Youch. I searched Google and didn't find it. Probably operator error. At any rate I will just cut out the photo and wear it on my wrist.That should free up my watch budget for the rest of my life. 😕

It sure is a beautiful and unique design. Never seen a Longines with such a design (especially that crown)... Do you mind if I, too, print it and wear it on my wrist ? We'll call it a limited edition, 2 ever made, bla bla... 😁

Are you talking about selling paper-printed cut-out versions of this watch for huge prices ? Because I am in brother!!

Funny, one could 3d print that thing with approximately good results for 10% or less of it's value... God knows what the future holds for us when 3d printers and 3d scanning lasers take over the markets. It's gonna be replicas and fakes galore! 😬

Maybe I should stock up on vintages and stuff, maybe in a few years they'll sell for even more money...

EDIT: These siderographs were apparently made sometimes between 1932 and 1940. A b&w photo.
