    A stainless steel, waterproof 30CH is a serious first Longines. Congratulations!

    My only 'concern' is that the start/stop pusher appears replaced. Here is another ref. 7413 for comparison.

    I agree. Don't see it as a deal breaker as the watch is in fair condition otherwise. Any thoughts on availability of the right pusher? Or not worth the trouble?

    Unfortunately I do not know about the availability of pushers. I would say that it is worth the trouble if you plan on selling it, otherwise enjoy.

    Shot I just posted above is recent. Here is the watch with uppper pusher replaced during its recent overhaul.. still not a perfect match but way better. Clearly this piece led an active life in its pre vintage hot house flower days.

    She looks just as fab to me; I'm no well versed in pushers, but I have a difficult time telling the difference in pictures. Maybe the previous one protruded slightly further? Was newer and shinier?

    Do educate me, the uneducated!

    nice. If I could convince myself to add another watch box, I'd collect Longines all day long
