    Just bought my first vintage longines for Christmas! 1960 dress watch. Caliber 30l.

    Welcome to the Forum!

    Nice first post. Nice watch. A '62 Longines with a 30L movement is in my watch menagerie and it's a very accurate watch.

    All my 30L are pretty loud movements too. Not complaining at all, part of their charm.

    Nice one! Where around the 206 are you at? You should come to one of the semi-annual local ΩF gatherings

    they don't come much cleaner than that one! as an aside, how easy is it to find the date of manufacture on these vintage longines? is there a serial number table similar to omega and rolex? I might have to go on the hunt for one meeself!
