    I have up for sale a Longines Flagship 18K 3418 cal 343 in very good condition. The watch has been lingering in one of my boxes for some time, and deserves a new and caring home!

    Case: 18K solid gold case in excellent condition. Who ever used to own this in the past wore it carefully. Seen with a loupe or macro photo one can see signs of use, but overall a very crisp and clean case.

    Movement: Legendary cal 343 Automatic in apparently great condition. It runs well, but as the watch has not been serviced while in my possession, it will require a service before used regularly.

    Dial and Hands: The dial is very clean. It seems to be several variants of the dial on this reference, and there have been some debate if the dial on the watch has been reprinted or not. I can not guarantee originality. My asking price reflects this uncertainty!
    One lume plot has come loose (7 o clock position). This will be easy for a watchmaker to set straight during servicing.
    Hands in good condition.

    Crown: Original/signed crown.

    Strap: The watch comes "head only", or on a generic leather strap.

    Pictures are an important part of the description, please view them carefully and let me know if you need any more.

    I am asking EUR975 net to me. PayPal or bank transfer. Payment and shipment to be agreed.
    Contact me for more details/pictures. I entertain sensible offers.

    It is a vintage watch, so it comes with no guarantees related to waterproofing or similar.

    Returns are only accepted if the watch is not as described / pictured.
    Please request references if so desired. I am a private collector and have many references here on OF.

    The watch and I are located in Norway. EU shipment is possible. I will always do my best to assist in keeping shipment costs and fees as low as possible.
