·Hi everyone,
First off, this is my first vintage watch. I have been learning as much as I can and had been on the hunt for an Omega Seamaster when I stumbled upon this Longines and fell in love. I am based in Copenhagen and this was in the local Buy/Sell website.
I fully expect some elements of this watch may not be original. And non of that bothers me as I bought it to wear and keep forever. The bronze foil markers and blue hands just look amazing to me.
But some of what would make this look like a redial etc. don't seem to make sense to me. So I would like some input from others about this watch. There is simply no other dial I can find that is even remotely close to this design. And if it is a redial, wouldn't the person re painting it make it look like a model that is common or even exists?(as I can't find reference to it anywhere)
What I know about this already:
I was told it is a 12.68z movement.
Serial Number on Movement in 6896049.
Number on case back is 23003 37.
The dial feet are the original brass ones form what i can see.
There is no number on the Lugs.
To me it looks like it is not the original crown.
It works, though runs a couple of minutes fast per day.
Looking forward to the discussion.
Nate.
