路To put it simply, this watch is a disaster. Dial has been refinished. Case is Wittnauer, which is not Longines. The bridge on the movements that says Longines has been swapped in as Longines caliber 332 has three counters (Val. 72 variant) and not two (Val. 23 variant). The balance cock is also not correct for a Longines with a VOS import mark. This watch is worth essentially nothing. Sorry for the bad news. We all have to start somewhere.

路My first thought was that the OP doesn't want to hear my opinion. Sorry OP, chalk it up to a learning experience.

路As others I am sorry for being so abrupt- but there is no way to sugar coat it.
In short: it鈥檚 been faked.
PS the number one lesson is: study every watch you want to acquire. Learn to recognize movements.
And if there鈥檚 a name on the case that鈥檚 not the name on the dial or the movement, you need to know why.
All parts must fit together and be correct for the model you are looking at.
Finally, if you鈥檙e going to buy vintage watches you should read @ConElPueblo鈥檚 sticky thread, 芦 learn how to fish 禄.
