    Dear members, I saw this watch on eBay. I have been interested in this model (especially the dial) for a while, but I don't know much about vintage Longines. Could someone share some opinions about this example? It will also be a good education for me. ;)

    It looks good to me. Nice watch. Be sure that calibre is fully working, 291 is very nice but difficult to fix when you have problems.

    Thanks so much for the opinions :thumbsup:
    What might be a reasonable price range for this one?
    I saw Hodinkee once listed it for $3500, and I think the $3500 price tag is too high.

    You are unlikely to ever find a watch for sale on Hodinkee that is not too high. ;)

    I think half that price could be reasonable.

    There are much cheaper ones out there on ebay but you have to be patient. Be aware of the cheap redials. They are not as popular as vintage Omega Seamaster watches but they are very cool watches. Here is an example of a cheap redial.[​IMG]

    That's nice @OP - looks like it will have plenty of wrist presence with that case and the markers/dial look so unique.
