Hello OF, I found an interesting Longines and wanted to put it on trial before all of you experts The seller claims this Longines is from the 1940's. 38mm case (not incl. crown), manual winding movement. That is all I know about the watch - is this an authentic Longines? If so, has the dial been repainted? Or is this watch a fake? The paint seems a little rough in some areas and doesn't seem as faded as one would expect...also lume in center of hands doesn't match the rest of the dial? The font / numerals all seem consistent though so perhaps a good redial? Thanks!
A Schild AS 1188 movement, or similar. Definitely not Longines, but a fairly creative fake. http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&2&2uswk&AS_1188
