Hello to all and have a nice Sunday,

I'm looking at this small size Longines 31mm, looks like a sector dial (I think). The seller doesn't know how to open the watch, it looks SS case, the hands have no lume anymore , dial.... I don't know if original or redial, the crown seems small.... honestly I am not familiar at all with this particular watch, all your inputs will be very help ful.
Pictures are terrible so far, I am asking for a video so I may be able to see the watch better.
thanks,
David

poor quality of images but overall looks original to me.
There is some damage around the right corner and looks like water damage.
Considering the small size and damaged dial, unless the price is very good, i would avoid it.

It looks good IMO, I have seen this dial and case combination before.

But it all comes down to the price.....

Not as much as a 30mm tre tacche with the same dial/hands combo if you know what I mean.

It’s a nice watch- not necessarily the same size or reference as the other one you posted but similar, quite obviously.
It’s about mid-1930s indeed, crown looks original, hands as @Radiumpassion says l- price really depends on the size and the condition of the movement.
The 12.68Z above sold for just over 650 euros on auction almost two years ago — and has now been flipped at least twice since, probably north of 1000 euros due to its very nice dial.

Size as well as the stains on this dial make a difference in this instance. Really hard to assess the impact of those stains in the current market. My initial reaction was 350-450 euros euros if the size is 31mm, but in the current market some people might not touch it with a 10 foot pole so you could try to offer 250 euros and see what happens.
Looks all original to me, in any event.

It looks correct to me, and the prices for longines sector dial now are strong. Try to get it at around 500 eur, any below that level can be deemed as success!
