    Up for sale from my personal collection

    Longines ref 6250
    35 mm without crown
    Dial has an egshell patina
    Crown is unsigned and looks like a replacement
    Lugs are sharp, marked 58 (as is on the inside of the caseback).
    6 notches "sei tacche" case as scratches commensurate with use. Appears unpolished
    There is some tarnishing on the hands and hands look to be replacements.
    Watch is running but no service history
    Sold as head only

    Archive info -

    The original serial number 8'258'047 identifies a wristwatch in stainless steel bearing the reference 6250. It is fitted with a Longines self-winding mechanical movement, caliber 22A and was invoiced on 29 November 1951 to the company Longines-Wittnauer, which was at that time our agent for the USA.

    Pictures below form part of the description.

    Asking $850 USD or GBP/HKD equivalent net to me with Royal Mail tracked and signed shipping included. Shipping from US possible. Bank transfer / revolut preferred, PP ok for established members with all fees on your side. Watch and myself are located in London. References available.

    No returns unless the watch is grossly misrepresented. Please PM with any questions. Thanks for looking and thanks to OF for the space!

    I think that the crown is from a Taubert case. Maybe @Tony C. can weigh-in on this.

    It looks like it may indeed: I have seen similar shapes on an Alpina and some Mido, all with Borgel/Taubert cases. I'd like to see it in the flesh to be sure though, so take it as an opinion only.
