I bought this watch from @yako54 at his asking price almost exactly one year ago. I've enjoyed the watch greatly since then and worn it about twice a month in a rotation. The watch is on a lovely shell cordovan strap which is included. The Longines extract (I can provide the email if desired) shows the watch was invoiced on 17 November 1958 to the company J. Pace, which was at that time the Longines agent for Malta.

Flagship ref. 104-8
- serial no. 106xxxx
- cal. 30LS, in house movement with gold chatons and centre second complication. I haven't opened the watch since receipt and the original sales thread has movement shots here (https://omegaforums.net/threads/1957-longines-flagship-cal-30ls-all-steel-very-clean.72554/)
- original dial with minimal signs of wear and handling at the lower right quadrant
- Stainless steel waterproof screw down case (35 mm without crown), extremely sharp with all edges and facets intact.
- Caseback shows the flagship motif with case back sticker.
- original crown
- original hands

I'm looking for exactly what the watch cost me at that time (you get the shell cordovan strap included) 700 USD shipped in the USA 2 day USPS priority. For international shipping we can work it out at cost.

Here are some fresh photos (I've also included movement shots from @yako54 sales post), but I also encourage you to look at the original photos and video as they are lovely!
