i did not realize david parmagiani was now in the auction business
interestingly the first auction appears to have had a fair # of unsold lots on the upper end

i am just astonished this many unicorn longines can be in one place. . .

Not sure which I want more: Some of those watches or some of what they're smoking

hmm. . i am told on good authority that very recently longines has rediscovered the ability to match archives to these old 13zn dials. so people will start to be able to tell if the dial matches the case etc. . .maybe this accounts for a lot of these very perfect watches coming up now

That's interesting. So Longines kept archive pictures of every 13zn ever made and can tell you the exact dial born with that movement number? I mean, AP effectively has done this but production volumes were much smaller for AP.

I also don't mind a "dial swap" at all - if the original dial was damaged and a better condition authentic dial was put in, that is fine by me. What I do mind is when a dial meant for a 34-35mm case is put into a 37-38mm case and labeled as "a rare dial variant for this larger case"

Did they brush the upper facet of the Ed White n°149’s case like a 5513?

Is that the Ed White with the “original” repro 6 endlinks ?
