    I'm new to nice vintage watches with only my Omega Constellation I recently acquired. I stopped at a pawn shop today and saw a Longines automatic with spider web dial. It's not running and sorry but this is the only picture I took. Would it be worth the investment at $140? Thanks IMG_20180503_133632.jpg

    10 KGF with a lot of wear. Cracked crystal. After doing more research I'm thinking it probably wouldn't be worth the money and effort. I really liked the dial though.

    Love the full set of numerals on that one. Wish for your sake that the dial's surface condition was better. You'd have to really love the project of rehab'ing the watch for it probably isn't worth it.

    I'm glad to see the watch and grateful to you for posting the photograph. It's very similar to this 1954 Longines with 19AS movement in a solid 14kt gold case. I've not seen another so similar.

    I'm fairly sure that one is a badly re-finished dial, thus the low sell price.
