·It looks like a recased pocket watch dial/movement to me.

·You don’t want this watch- that crown looks ready to pop off if you look at it wrong.

·I have seen British-market, 1940's Longines with enamel dials like this. However, the cases are usually 9K gold. Without seeing the movement (possibly a 12.68Z) and the inside of the case-back, it is tough to make a determination.

There are always surprises, but I’d say that the crown would be at 12 if this was a pocket watch

That is a very good point, and one that I hadn't thought of haha. The porcelain dial and the placement of Longines above the sub. second dial, is quite strange. Although, I could see this being for the English market, which seemed to like those types of transitional watches.

Very unlikely to be a pocket watch conversion given the apparent size.

·Not strange for a British-market Longines of the period. Here is another one on eBay now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LONGINES-C...510739?hash=item3fc2a4a913:g:d18AAOSwtexc3OdM

Beautiful watch! Reminds me of the modern Fears Brunswick watches that are being assembled in England. Perhaps the original case was a victim of scrapping.
