Hi guys, picked up this longines today. Just wanted to know roughly the year. It’s a front loader and I couldn’t be bothered pulling it out to see the serial number. Anyone know when these were made?

By the way, the shot of the movement and inside of the case were done by the seller.

I suspect that's 18mm lug width with a 20mm strap crammed in by the way!

It’s a 19mm lug width. I have an 18mm strap or a 20 at the moment so I thought it would look better oversized than under.
