Hi guys,

I've had my eye on this for a while now but not pulled the trigger just yet.
Its an 18k rose gold 9005 Calendar with a 19ASD Longines signed movement...
I find the dial and markings really nice even with the imperfections, and have compared to similar 9005s but would greatly appreciate any comments on anything that might look amiss or anything to look out for from those who have more experience with this model if that's ok?

Best, Phil

Verrrrry polished and an incorrect crown.

thanks. noted on the polishing, was hoping it was the lighting in the photo as i've not seen it in person yet.
have included another pic...

for the crown then, it should be the longines text going around in a circle, not in a straight line?

Cheers😀

Incorrect crown indeed. I have found the correct crown for these in the past, but the overpolished case is a dealbreaker even if the dial patina is not. Take a deep breath and keep looking.
