Help with info on vintage Longines

Grotius · Nov 16, 2020

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!

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.

Thanks for showing that, I hadn't see that variation before. 👍 Makes sense that the OP watch would be original since the printing looks so good.
