Hi folks my brother is looking at this and tbh I don't know anything about Longines but I'm sure many of you do could I politely ask your thoughts,

Thanks OmegaSean

Also, hands look wrong and it is advertised as a "rare Roman dial". Red flags galore.

Many Admirals had those dials on 34x / 35x series calibers in the early to mid 60's. Somebody here has my former original example..... maybe @STANDY. @Hijak, or @dougiedude so hopefully they'll post a picture.

ps - Longines was one of the best with reflective indices back then.

I found this one on the 'bay last spring, hardly a scratch/blemish on it! 😁

I won the auction at somewhere around $350, IIRC.

Not only are the faceted indices nice, the 10kt. gold fill looks as good as any I've ever seen.

Then, combined with the 'sunburst from 6' dial, it's probably one of the best eBay values I've ever won:

What is the verdict on this one? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-Long...010209?hash=item3d17b913a1:g:syUAAOSwHgVW60bN

Interesting font comparison with example from the Longines Vintage Automatics thread.
