I loved the fact they came out with a reissue, but these originals are so classic! Stunning.
agreed- nothing like the character of a patina'd original, but the reissue (for what they cost used, around 1500 USD iirc) are a steal for the money

I have this one on my watch list. I owned a re-issue that I wore as a daily beater and just loved it. I have since sold it. I am trying to go exclusive with Omega, but this might be the one exception 馃榾

Very nice example. I expect it will look like a bargain down the road.

And I don't just mean because of the need to source a correct crown, which may not be easy.

I think it's the high end of the right ball park figure now. I hesitated on one around 5k about 9 months ago and missed it. Since then I've only seen decent ones (and some not so decent ones) at 7k+. It's a very desireable watch. The re-edition looks good value though, especially as it's one of the only ones Longines did not ruin with the date placement (and you can still pick up the no date variety in the low 1ks)

Is it just me or was that result wacky?
I wouldn't call the result wacky. After all the 1st one right at the beginning of the thread sold for $7900. 2 of these were sold in Antiquorum last year and I remember one hit $12k and the other almost10k, both in better condition iirc.

The divers have risen steadily last three years. I am happy to have bought/traded for mine before much of the rise in prices.

Are there only two model references for the vintage Longines Legend? 7042 and 7150?

Many thanks mmmd. Did all of them have case backs without stampings/markings other than the scuba diver with spear at the center?

All the manufacturer's markings are on the inside of the case back.
