First, I have found this one @ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Longines-C...986913?hash=item25f27bc261:g:4CQAAOSwCxdaxXoyPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network I have seen yellow and rose gold version of this (owning a RG one too), but have never seen such a combination - this dial with SS case. And this is supposed to be a white gold solid dial? Oh, and that "Chronometre" is a nice twist also. What do you think? Also, I have this one under question: Is this dial a redial? What are your opinions here?
I believe the second one to be a redial. As to the first, and especially at the asking price, I would confirm with Longines. That would require that the seller provide a photo of the inside of the case back and movement serial number as well. The dial looks good to me.
I also have the same doubt, never seen such a combination of "automatic" and "conquest" letterings. About the first one, I have found some more infos from their Japanese site: Ref .9024 5 207. Just sharing, no intentions to buy, since the asking price is high for me.
To add a bit of information, I once owned this genuine cal. 340 Flagship Chronometer, and it had a different (fine) regulator...
Yes, relative to other 340s. But I might expect the (cal. 291) Japanese example to have a different (i.e. finer) one if it is a chronometre.
I wonder. The chronometer version of the cal. 22AS had a similar regulator whereas cal. 431 chronometers have finer ones, like the cal. 340 above.
My fingers were hovering above the buy/offer button, but that was before I noticed that it’s not white gold Nice watch though.
Or even platinum, which is quite usual for Japanese market. I have seen vintage platinum IWC pieces from this market also.
With a bit of research, it is on my basket for -1000€ of Ebay's price, unfortunatelly it is still over my actual budget for watches
Well, I wish I could but I've just lost my job so priorities have changed. I just wanted to say that it can be had for a better price, if price is an obstacle of course
