路beautiful, congrats, is it the one from Cars and Watches?
Thanks Syrte! 馃榾
No it's from an IG contact of mine, it wasn't on the open market... He found it on the flea market
roughly two years ago. Initially it was from an UK household sale. Not working, might have been in a drawer for decades. He had it serviced in the meantime, enjoyed it for a while and luckily he finally told me that he might consider selling... 馃榾

Nice write-up, but beware the source.

路Longines ref. 5056 delivered to Baume & Co. in 1947. I always loved this dial variant with the brushed ring and the Roman numerals. So happy I finally found one

路Still waiting to get this redone by Archer, mid-late 40's sei-tacche bought new by my grandfather and worn/tortured by me as a teen in the 70's, 33mm I believe (don't have it in front of me). Missing second hand is actually stuck between dial & case @ 3:00. Appears to have been relumed but that would have been while my grandfather had it. Movement runs.

路If you find out where it was originally invoiced, I would be curious to know. My guess is either Italy or somewhere "exotic".
I sent the request to Longines last week. Will let you know once I hear back.

Argentina. Those sei tacche are a month apart: June and July 1943.

路@Rumar89 Thanks for the update! Argentina makes sense. Both central and south America seemed to have a penchant for striking designs.
