From my private collection here is an unworn Longines Admiral Automatic with blue details and the full original bracelet. The watch comes from the liquidation of an old watch store and it has never been worn. The chronometer grade caliber 6651 movement dates the watch to the 1970s (by chronometer grade this implies that it is not a COSC certified watch, but built and adjusted to the same high standards).
Except for some minor swirls from storage it is in "like new" condition. The dial, hand and movement looks perfect (see pictures).



The watch is running well and keeping good time (Timegrapher says 269deg amplitude and -16sec/day!). It has not been serviced, and if one intends to use the watch I strongly recommend it.

Case: Excellent condition all Stainless Steel, with only very minor marks. Perfect edges.
It measures 40mm in diameter without crown (40x40x11mm). 20mm lug width.

Caseback: See pictures. Only very minor marks. Serial number: 16605626

Movement: Caliber 6651 28.800a/h 25 jewels automatic. Running well. No service history. Serial: 51860675. “Adjusted 4 postions and temperature”.

Dial: Perfect and original (no redial).

Hands: Perfect and original (unrestored).

Crystal: Perfect condition mineral crystal.

Crown: Signed Longines.

Bracelet: Unworn and perfect. Full length.

Price: EUR525 + shipment at cost. OBRO NOW EUR450 including PayPal and international tracked shipping!!!

Shipment: The watch and I are located in Norway. I will be helpful to assist in keeping import taxes at reasonable levels. Shipments may also be arranged from within the European Union (will normally be possible about once every 14-days). Only tracked shipments accepted from my side.

Some points: the caliber 6651 is the 28,800 modernized version of the 431, made inhouse by Longines. Despite it being adjusted to 4 positions and capable of extremely accurate timekeeping, it's not actually a chronometer unless it's marked as such and has the gold rotor weight.

I say chronometer grade and not chronometer.
Can make an edit to emphasize this.
