It's a beautiful thing though isn't it. I don't know much about vintage Longines, but fell in love with this reference from the moment I saw it. If I could ever justify spending five-figures on a watch, then right now this is what I'd be going after.

I wonder how much the buyer paid for it !

 

I can't more aggreed...
I contacted the buyer and it seems that it is a real barn find and he said he is curious to see how high it will go. I just hope that I will not close the auction before the end...
Btw 11.3k right now... So my new bet is 16k

 

I sure wish there were barns like that over where I live... What a find! And in the end it went for just under 14k USD, so you were right

 

But it is not finished yet

Second time in the week, are these raining now? Love how the new year is shaking loose some nice watches...even into Feb

 

The first one passed under the radar...

 

Then quite a few low flying ..... planes :::: 59 Bids by 19 Bidders

 

The one currently auctioned seems.yo have more audience, already 23 bidders... Lets See when all.the snipper will pop

 

Wow... 22k

 

Won by a 34 feedback user. Not sure that the seller will see the color of those $22k.

 

What the h... Is going on?????
22k while asleep...!??? Looks crazy high..

 

nuts

 

@Fost @LarryG my first thought was the same but then consider the price of a good 35mm Longines Tre Tacche. I'd much prefer a 30CH with an early case like this...

 

In 10 yrs people will wish they bought at that price

 

I doubt it... but of course nobody knows.

 

Only if the currency used has hyperinflated in the interim.

 

10 years is a long time in watch collecting years...a lot can change...just consider the last 10 years

 

The last ten years perfectly represents... erm... the last ten years.

No reflection on the next ten.

Why don't you start mining bitcoin and buy ASOS shares.
