    Hi,

    I've been offered this vintage Longines. It's 37mm and carries a cal. 12.68zs, which the seller dates to 1958.

    What is a fair price for this?

    Thanks! 362_1155925177.jpg 362_1231564059.jpg 362_2052837299.jpg

    As long as everything is original, I would guess between 500-800$. But I’m sure someone more educated on here can give you a more precise answer.

    It's a bit unusual to have the circle cutting right through the markers like that, especially the numbers. I'm more accustomed to seeing the sector boundaries going inside and/or outside the numbers. I'm not saying it's wrong, just not something I've seen before. Have you been able to identify the same dial in other photos?

    I think it is fine. Not the first I've seen. The counterpoise on the second hand does appear to have broken off, though.
