I can't remember if I posted already in this thread, but I recently acquired one more, so here goes:

1927 Tiffany Longines in 14K white gold (with matching ladder bracelet)







ca. 1928 enamel dial, silver cushion







ca. 1940 Wadsworth cased 10K rolled gold plate, same case pretty much as the later non-solid gold version of the Hamilton Andrews




1948 ref. 5412 pointer date




Nice 36mm size with long lugs

The date pointer is in exceptional condition. Lovely timepieces!

Double dibs again on the pointer date 😜
(if I can ever afford it ... 😬)

30L for comparison...looks very similar.

From Ranfft.de:

family/generations:
fixed stud carrier:
30L: sub second
30LS: sweep second
adjustable stud carrier:
302: sub second

And from Longines30L.com:

There has been made a few versions based on the 30L base calibre.
A 302 with larger balance and a micro/fine regulator.

Looks like the 302 was slightly updated / higher end with the addition of fine regulation, larger balance, etc?

Congratulations!
But I suspect this is a redial... Perhaps ulackfocus can give us a more pertinent opinion here.

I doubt it. My photos are a bit wonky, though, and the crystal is very domed and thick, which may make the logo seem blurred or warped.

Here's a clearer dial shot



If that's a redial it's a darn good one

First: a search on Google after Longines caliber 302 does not bring any dials with roman numerals. Second: how Swiss Made appears, too high and with the VI in between.

Just my two cents...

Well, since it's a pretty watch maybe I'll start a thread on it, perhaps nice for posterity 😀

That is an original dial, and a very nice one.

I agree @Tony C. @Mr.Cairo
Here's my Ultra Chron to compare fonts
and it ain't no re-dial
I think the Swiss Made split is ok bc of the subsec-dial

If you need Google or call upon people with more experience to reach an opinion, why say anything and risk causing harm with potentially inaccurate statements ? This is not a thread where people are asking for anyone's validation.
How would you feel if people start picking apart your watches when you haven't asked for advice?

I recently bought a case with random watch parts and I found this gem amongst berrets, crowns etc.
Anybody know how old it is? And other facts about it. It's thickness is 10mm.
Much appreciated 😀

Style looks late 50s or 1960s to me, but what you should do for an exact date is to have it opened by a professional watchmaker, write the caliber number and serial number and ask Longines for a (free) extract of archive. You can go on their website to do that.

Other than that it is what you see it is, an automatic ladies watch which appears to have no particular name, as for many vintage watch models from different manufactures.

thanks guys @pitpro & @Tony C. -- I have added your posts to the main thread on this watch.

@Syrte all his posts seem to have been deleted, almost making it look like we're talking to ourselves :-/
