Inheritance, actually know almost nothing about the watch only that it's white gold. I assume the hands are non original. So all info is welcome

 

That's gorgeous

Did you pick that one up here on Ω-F? It looks familiar...

My lone 30L says 'Hello':


Sorry, all the 'hair', it was taken before I learned to 'tuck' before 'take' !

 

No - I bought it in Stuttgart (Germany) on a watch fair ca. 1997 from a swede named Cilof O. - perhaps he´s around here?

rgds - h.u.

 

So it's stays in the collection. like that.

 

Been meaning to post these for awhile now...
23z 10kt GF that I bought from estate administrator of original owner, a merchant marine that apparently had few occasions to ever dress up and wear it, so was virtually NOS and came with original inner and outer box. Needs a service as runs about 20 mins slow per 24 hrs. I don't have the tools to open this from the front to take a picture of the movement. On an after market alligator strap, no Longines buckle.




Re-issue Expeditions Polaires Francais. I bought this used without box and papers. I've had it for about 15 months and find I frequently default to it when I can't decide what to put on my wrist. Original strap and buckle, strap will need to be replaced soon.


And finally, a brand new, in box, never worn Heritage Avigation GMT, this is from the first run numbered edition. I was briefly into pilot watches but it didn't last, they're too big for be. Alas, this is no different, it's enormous and doesn't fit with my wrist with the stock strap securely. I've had this for about a year and have been meaning to sell or trade it basically since I got it! Yet every time I open the box, here's this big beautiful watch starting at me... [emoji15] Has all boxes and papers.




That's my Longines collection! Odd for me that it's actually more modern than vintage.

 

Longines 30CH ref. 6474, uncorrect needles/small hands but nice case, dial + movement.

 

Now all you need is to find needles in a haystack...

 

With a new Longines acquisition thought I'd do a group shot, loving the Longines. Most recent is the ref. 3108-4 with cal. 341 Flagship in steel...

And a group shot of the whole family...

All Guard, Silver Arrow, Conquest (steel), Conquest (18K), Flagship, Ultra Chron and Ultra Chron Chronometer

 

Nice 341 Ed!

Here's my groupies

On regular rotation: 302, 19AS, 2X291, 294, 3X431s

Special occasions: 30CH, 290, 340, 341

 

Very nice!

 

Wow. You two know how to collect 'em. I might have to get mine out for a 'grupo'...

I meant to congratulate you on your new 341, Ed, it is gorgeous ! Can you put me on your 'Dibs' list?

Maybe a 'blanket' dibs on both your collections!

 

My 341 is already awake, so it says 'hello' to the new member of your fam, Ed:

 

The Longines Force is strong enough to start a separatist Longinesforums.net!

 

Thanks Doug, yours is outstanding! Put you on list for the 341.

 

This thread is making me nostalgic.

 

Well, I know that you are 1st dibs on at least ONE of these 341's ...

... and if I could get a SS one like Ed's, then... well, er..... ... I guess I'd have Two!

 

A modern Longines, with looks from another era.
