The condition! A really great find, congrats. I have a 6T with very similar numerals in the outer track. Do you know the approximate serial number of yours? Mine is 7'205'xxx.

 

Thanx! It's a 10.68N in the 7,38 mill range. Wear on the case and crown shows
it had been used alot. But the dial and hands are lovely

 

Hi

I would like to offer here two pictures of a rather clean example of an Ultra-Chron model.
This is caliber 431 (the date version of the 430, the first commercial 36000 bph movement for Longines), running a model 7827-3 from 1968.


and in daylight:

 

As i was tinkering today, i thought i'd add this one.

 

That’s right, I thought the same when I first saw the silver one.

 

When it rains it pours.... Another barnfind 10.68 sei tacche, this time 25mm case. Movement is in the 6.87mill range.

 

I would expect the movement to be 8.68ABC.

 

@Syrte I stand corrected

 

Just picked this one up from the post office this week.

 

From France ? Boy that was quick!
Very nice, congrats.

 

Correct and thank you.

 

shameless double post- but I’ve been wearing it every day.

 

My dad’s early 1950’s Longines. Purchased during a holiday to Italy it promptly broke/would not wind, he effectively wrote it off leaving it in a drawer but I would still often admire and wear it as a kid. I always loved the separate sub dial seconds and believe this influenced my own later choice for the De Ville Power Reserve with sub dial seconds. I recently plucked up the courage to just ask my dad outright if I could have his old Longines, without hesitation he found it up for me. I have since had it serviced to once more working order. I tried to return it to him but he insists I now keep it. I wear it and will also later pass it onwards to my son as part of my own humble and continuing collection.

 

Back from repair! With thanks to @DirtyDozen12 for flagging it, a bit of a punt but a very pretty one— and 103 years old. It was born in 1916 as a sterling silver wristwatch and still is.

This is a lovely watch and especially so because of the lovely story that comes with it.

 

Thanks, think so,

and about eighty more of mine will be in the Museum soon.

What's about Your Baby, as it would fit perfectly to my former #335 and #581?

I'm pretty sure, that Walther is keen to get it.

Have fun in Geneva!

Picked this one today

 

Picked this few days ago on OF. Waiting for the custom strap as the lugs are around 14mm.

 

That's a lovely example! And wonderful dial
