I done did it. I was told it needs a crystal and crown, they are in good shape but not origjnal, so the hunt begins for something I have no clue about. Is it worth grabbing one of the free archive extracts from Longines?
Extract is free which makes it fun. Unlike Omega who sucks the fun out of everything. “Hey, look at this fun Snoopy watch- awww, none for you”

Yeah, can't even order the Omega online in the USA. Party Poopers.

Super easy, barely an inconvenience! I asked the PO if he minded me using his lovely photos to submit for my extract and as he obliged, I quick sent off my request. Got an auto reply but according to the FAQ, it should take "2-3 weeks + shipping time." You know I'll post as soon as I get it.

They’ll send you a digital one in a few days and you’ll get a nice looking certificate in the mail- they are a class act!

In case you missed it…our own @vintage hab is offering this stellar stainless Longines at a very nice price. At 35mm with its slim bezel this one will wear like 36 or 37. It’s about as elegant and classic as they come. If it said Seamaster on the dial it would be thrice the price.

Yeah, I've been confused why that one has hung around so long. It's been a slow market, but things seem to have picked up very recently. Hopefully someone will give it a new home soon.

I can only buy so many watches this year and I'd be super broke if I bought every amazing watch here. I am working my way through the bumps as they pop. Just grabbed that wittnauer from Rasputin. If this is here in a couple of weeks, I might have to give it home.

I’ve been watching it masochistically knowing I won’t buy it because of my own self imposed limits on the capacity of my watch box. I hope the new owner loves it and shares with us more photos of them wearing it.

It still has it's original signed crown! 🥰 A bargain BIN price of $100 for this classic, all-original, steel-cased, hand-wind Tissot Seastar dating to the late 1950s:

Love the gold hardware on stainless case. Just enough color on the dial to pop. This is a nice price.

And it has a 27-series movement. The Tissot 27 caliber is excellent. Robust and reliable – a low-key classic.

Had to get it after these messages, what a bargain considering the condition, and I got it for $10 less. This will be my first Longines watch. Thanks!
