Not quite a barnyard find, but think I did pretty well on this 60's gold Longines

    Just delivered. Took to my local watch maker, and in his opinion, it's all legit. I see nothing to suggest otherwise. Original box and book is a nice added bonus.

    33mm 14K gold case, 23Z movement. I replaced the band.

    Serial # 10995261 suggests that it's a 1958.

    What do y'all think?

    Good find! :D ... :thumbsup:

    ...although, now you remind me of my blatant insanity a few years ago, when I let my own 23Z go ..:(...

    circa 1953:

    I hope it wasn't full of cow dung and sheep shit, trampled on by livestock!

    A barnyard find is what happens when the cow found it in the barn first and then did some redecoration.
