    No experience with this reference but I can't deny, I like the lugs too.

    On another note, would you be willing to provide any further info (serial number, caliber, reference) that you receive as I am very interested in Longines with French provenance.

    As am I, and I will post when I hear back. Suppose it could have been cased in France, but it looks very Suisse.

    We need a Mac_Longines...

    By the look of the dial, and being a date at 12, I would expect a 291 caliber inside... but then, it could also be one of those 294 repurposed as non-power reserve.

    I have one of those 294 repurposed and mine has a strange fish medallion stamped, not glued.

    Could you share a shot of your dial please?

    Sure

    It cannot be more normal (it could even be a redial, or a dial from the rejected bin, who knows), but I bought the watch just for the back.

    And here, the reference:

    Don't know about the originality of the watch, but I did like the rap reference!
