    Price: $250USD net to me

    Case: Tonneau shaped, electroplated gold with stainless steel back. The case is in good vintage condition, with original brushing still visible throughout. One lug and one side have dings which I’ve attempted to capture below. Overall I would classify the condition as “good”. Tonneau shape measures 40mm from lug to lug and 36mm across without the crown (38mm with) - wears well and in a modern size.

    Movement: Longines L636.2 automatic movement - the watch runs and day and date functions work correctly. Service history is unknown and long-term accuracy is unknown, but nothing seems to be awry.

    Strap and buckle: original gold coloured Longines buckle. Nice tapered vintage strap (unsure of originality - Longines markings either not present or worn off), brown in colour that’s either genuine or reproduction lizard.

    ETA 2836/2824-2 movement, so a solid movement that’s easily serviced. Cool watch.
