doctor steel
·Hi to all Longines vintage chronographs lovers : I present to you 2 13zn with the same cases but with very different dials
Both reference 3901, have an almost 37mm steel case, tilting lugs and stepped bezel
The pushers are rectangular and the snap casebacks haven't the Longines writing ( typical of the very first 13zn )
°The first one has a sandwich two tone dial ( with blue and black scales ) with very nice patina which makes it a real vintage piece : I love it !!!
The same serial number of the caseback and of the movement ( 5,4 million ) dates it to 1936 with delivery to the Longines Agent in 1937
° The second one has a silver two tone dial with red, blue and black scales and printed indexes, but the most striking feature are the very, very large counters ( bigger than the large ones observed on some books !!! )
This piece also has the serial number of the caseback and of the movement 5,4 million, sent to the Agent in 1938
Thanks for reading and sorry for the bad pics
