    Hi all!

    I have mostly been hanging out in the Omega section, however today I bought my first Longines watch. I would say this was nothing that I planned. I found this one on sale at an local auction house and got it today =)

    I would appreciate some help on which model and condition and an estimate of price, no need to sugarcode it though.

    Thanks for all the help // Daniel.

    Hi Daniel. By the look of the dial & hands and the caseback markings it could be anywhere from the late 50's to mid 70's. The crown is definitely a replacement. If you could show a nice clear shot of the inside of the caseback and caliber I could narrow that down for you.



    ps - it's sugarcoat. ;)

    Hi Dennis!

    Thanks for your help answers :)

    I'll try to get some movement shots and one from the caseback tomorrow, when my local watchmaker opens.
    The watch was not expensive, so I guess the next thing to do is too find the correct crown, for this model, any ideas where I could find one?

    haha - Thanks, I´m Swedish so thanks for clearing that up :)

    Thank you Dennis!

    I will treat this one to a service, because of unknown service history.

    Great. The caliber 12.68Z is a very nice movement.
