Hey there, do you have a watch to sell by any chance? 😉
Forum policies prohibit post farming for purposes of reaching the 200 post mark which opens access to the sales forum. ...
however if you worked at Longines, I'm sure if you stick around and participate it won't take you too long to reach that mark.
What were you doing at Longines and how long did you work there?
What is the one on the far right of your picture? Beautiful collection!
Here's the info I got from Longines: "a Longines mechanical manually wound movement, caliber 10.68Z (also called 10L in the USA). It was invoiced on 16 July 1942 to the company Longines-Wittnauer Watch Co., which was at that time our agent for the USA. " I've heard this model also called a "Mainliner", but I don't know if that is accurate. The case is 10k, gold filled and made by Wadsworth,39mm lug to lug and 26mm without crown.
I sadly still didn't found a nice Longines for myself, so I bought this one for my Girlfriend.
Ha ha, congrats, I was going to bid on it and then could not because I was caught in a meeting! 👍
Dibs if she doesn’t like it ! 🙄
PS what did you do with the strap?? It had a nice strap on it! If you don’t want it, I’ll put it to good use!
Thanks, I really like it. In that case I was lucky.😎
Dibs noted, I really hope she likes it. So far I didn't had any success convincing her with a vintage Watch.🤦
Do you mean that one?
I took the Strap off to clean the dirt between the lugs.
I'm not sure if I will change it for a different Strap. If She doesn't like the Strap, I pm you and send it free of charge to France.👍
Is it just me, or is there something funky going on with that brake?
Nevermind, the brake is underneath, but what's the part on top of that do?

Not exactly certain if you are asking about this but the sliding gear on the caliber 30CH travels vertically to disengage the minute recording runner when resetting.
The black one ?
Something special my watchmaker told me.
Has someting to do with the reset of the sweeper.
Normally the sweeper returns in 1 direction.
That part makes it possible to reset the sweeper in the shortest direction.
Hope you understand what i mean.
Furthermore he had the same explanation as dirtydozen.
I am not so technical lol
