    I recently got interested in Longines and picked up a unique piece from the recommended watches thread a few weeks back. I'm now taking a look at this one and was interested in you all's thoughts on the originality of the dial. The font looks to be period correct but I'm just not certain. Your thoughts? 20160601_205247.jpg

    Nice watch. Very likely original, but, at the risk of being pedantic, not "unique". ;)

    I agree with Tony C.. Original dial but certainly not unique.

    Oops, I didn't mean to imply that this one was the unique one. Didn't even mean to imply that my first Longines was a one of a kind, but just interesting/different rather. I appreciate the feedback in terms of the question of originality! Here's a pic of the other...

    I remember this first one ;)

    Really like the two tone dial..... I think I saw it on Ebay after it was sold - out of Italy, no?

    Yes - correct on all counts.
