A really nice “narrow serif” sold earlier today, making just north of €1000 in spite of the fact there was no mention of Marine Nationale in the listing. My snipe didn’t even register...

 

I have bought this one
Will report back here once it arrived.

 

My feeling is that this one is going to be extremely nice.

Big congratulations !

 

Thanks a lot.
There are still some questionmarks as to condition but let’s see when it arrives. It still is a 70 year old military watch and when you look at it that way, it looks really well preserved.

 

Congratulations !

Was monitoring the sale, despite the awful pictures I think that was a good buy

I'm a coward, so the rusted second hand holded me back

Can not wait for your report

 

I was the underbidder! Great catch!

 

My contribution to the thread.i found another one.

 

Very nice example!

Mine has been paid and is on its way. Should arrive somewhere next week.

 

Anyone have tips regarding replacement plexis? Were these special in any way (thicker, reinforced,...)?
I'm also thinking about having the hands relumed by James Hyman.
Ofcourse the movement will require a good service.

But let's not get ahead of things and first confirm good receipt
An email with information about the piece has already been requested from Longines.

 

Thanks for this post, great work, I LOVE each variant of that watch. I have a sei tacche that's on Archer's waitlist...

 

There she is! I'm not at all disappointed

 

The geigerteller says 4 microsievert per hour, that is doable

 

Beautiful!

 

Very nice
Congrats !

 

That dial is ridiculously clean

Big congrats, very nice catch !

 

This is pretty cool:

 

I was looking for this watch but the radium hands scared me (my wife to be honest) ... I've seen you want to relume the hands, is-it possible to "remove" the radium and put tritium hands ?

 

Very nice one

 

I've found this one, i'm not a fan of this strap but the dial looks great.
