This watch was made in (1911-12) Based on serial archives but I may be wrong. I got it because I believe these old rare watches need to be preserved for future collectors.. The dial is original yet has damage unfortunately. I'm thinking of sending to Longines head quarters Switzerland for restoration but I'm on the fence as to have the dial restored or get a NOS from them or just leave it. The crown and hour ,Minute hands are not original. I think this old timer needs to be revived. . Lets congratulate this baby for surviving.It give's us a look into the past regardless of its condition. Its still beautiful.
This is really weird! what are the chances!

But its really weird how after all this time such close serial numbers are found! Wow!
Thanks for your comments.
12.68z Longines. It is apparently printed upside down (aka electrocolorated or gilt)
with an additional silver ink print. not the subdial, nor the markers, but the signature.
