    Ladies and gentlemen,
    I have an opportunity to buy this Longines watch, but I have a limited information about it. All I know that it is so called pilots watch automatic movement with the date. I did my research online, but could not find exactly the same watch.
    So, I am searching for help from Longines experts here. Any information and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S. Sorry, I have only one picture from the seller, but should have some more later today.

    Well, I can get it for $350.
    Just didn't have a lot of experience with Longines, want to know what to look for and how to spot the fake.
    Thanks for the reply.
    Do you know how good is the automatic movement they have?

    I have no feedback other than I looks nice. Good deal I'd want to pay no more than gbp500 to be honest.

    Funny double post soz.

    Get more photos as many as possible.
    Side on profile 12 3 6 9
    Front and back
    Closeups of front and back
    Movement shot
    Boxes
    Papers manuals receipts
    Strap and buckle.

    If you can see it in person do. Etcetera. Do your due dillegence.

    As you'll need them to compair against online reference to check if authentic. 300 usd sounds good it's in my have a go and hope range.

    Let's hope someone with modern longines experience pops by.

    Thanks.
    I would definitely have a chance to look at it in person (since it is a local sale).
    The seller said that he has all the receipts and papers for it.Also, I should get more pictures from him today.

    I ended up getting the watch.
    It is in outstanding condition, with box, papers and original receipt.
    Keeps time really good too.

    Looks like you got a sweet deal on a straightforward aviator's style watch. :thumbsup:

    @tapaptpat - There's no second "U" in his screen name - it's Uniqez. ;)
