Hello!
After a few years of laying in the drawer I would like to give this case a movement, but Im struggling to find what type of movement that belongs to this case.

I know that the case is not worth more than its weight in gold and that I wont make a profit by giving it the correct movement. I am doing it because it belonged to my grandfather, hence the sentimental value.

So, I am asking for help with what movement I should be looking for.
Diameter: 34mm outer. 30mm inner If I measured correctly)

Apologies for the scruffy English and another "help needed" thread. I am learning and hopefully I will be able to give back soon.

Thank you, I didnt know that.

 

Here's a listing for what looks like your watch. It says cal 6952 (http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Longines_6952). 28.0mm movement, so may not be correct if you measured 30mm accurately. As @Tony C. mentioned, check with Longines.

Do you have the bezel? Dial?

That looks indeed like my watch, thank you! I have written to Longines, but I assume it will take some time before they reply. meanwhile I will look into the 6952 cal, could also be 6942 perhaps?
