Recommended Longines Watches On Ebay

I'll answer your question, but please understand that this is in the wrong thread. If you have a question on a particular watch, please open up a new thread for comments.

This watch looks to have had an older redial job done many years ago. You did not include a picture of the inside of the caseback, which would identify the model number and whether the case was commissioned by Longines.

I would not buy it.

Thank you. I did go through the treads and have read the guidelines, but still finds where to do what a little confusing. Very sorry.

Yes, rusted out 13ZN`s seems to be in vogue😀

Come on... It is obviously a hot ticket for restoration 😁

Ok, I will remove the post, Thank you

Any risk-takers out there? Only 32mm, but these small "tre tacche" models are of interest to some collectors.

Hungary is not where I usually look for watches, and this is so clean that I was initially suspicious. The same seller has a mix of other listings, most are good, but one is a re-dialed Tissot that is not disclosed. After looking quite carefully at this watch, and comparing with other examples, it looks legit for me, so I decided to post it here. Still, I welcome comments if people feel I've recommended this in error.

Someone buy this. Note he sent me a private offer as a follower so definitely negotiable on price.

Looks very nice.
But after the Brexit, I should add 205 pounds to the asking price to buy this 🙁

Make a 300gbp discount offer and maybe still ok 👍

Way to go!
That's the original scallop crown I believe. Impossible to source.
Most have lost their scallop crown over the years.
There might be a 3 or 4 digit number on one of the lugs
that matches a serial on the movement(or is it the case back number, can't remember),
if these are like the Power Reserve.

Usually no numbers on back of lugs for the GCs @pitpro

I wouldn't have thought that the seller would accept such a discount. Good haggling and congrats!

what a blob that is @Spinakerr .... perhaps should've started a separate thread ? If you can delete it....anxiety levels would reduce 😀

Cool watch for the money (around 200 EUR). Overall condition looks good. Still has one of Longines' in-house movements (cal. 285). It is unclear if the seller is willing to ship outside of Italy. I am tempted, myself, but will try to resist. https://www.ebay.it/itm/154869755693?hash=item240ef4ef2d:g:xeUAAOSwGCNiGP-f

Black sector redial?

Submitting for comparison (the pillow case, from Syrte):

DirtyDozen12 · May 2, 2022

Lots of problems with the flat-bezel piece. For a start, the movement serial number (7'516'4x1) dates to circa 1949 whereas the order number (21'934) dates to the early 1940s. I suspect that the movement and case do not belong together, i.e. it's a franken. Beyond that, the crown is incorrect, blued hour hand is incorrect, and I am suspicious of the dial too. The signature does not look quite right, to me, but I am not certain. All in all, I would certainly not recommend this piece. As for the cushion-case example, I notice that it also has blued hands. Maybe both watches were created by the same "creative" person?
