Yep. Buy-it-now.

After negotiations, of course.

Besutiful watch. This straps looks nice for it, isn't it flat gray croc? Oxblood and green croc vintage straps also go well with gold, it's more lively than black. But this seems to fit the bill nicely.
Thanks Syrte! Agree, something more lively like the oxblood lizard on my deluxe Constellation...like that look very much. Was thinking something similar for this, maybe a little darker? We'll see what I can find, I've been a little lazy watch wise lately.😒

You said 8888?
I'm in with a different dial configuration

Received today the certificate from Longines' archives.
Strangely (or not) they are saying that the watch was from the Flagship collection.
I can't see any sign from usual flagship watch. Were collections at this time (1963) something wider than just signed watches (dial and case back for instance)?

- could be as well a copy/paste fail on their side as I had as well an inquery for my Cal 345 Flagship
