dunno, but it's an ergonomically design concept

 

Somebody replaced the date wheel with a standard date-at-3 disc. I'm hesitant to call the dial original. There's something about the inking of LONGINES and automatic that looks rough.

 

Oh no... garbage

 

"Dial: Minty. Signed longines with rose gold lettering and rose gold markers. Original Longines dial repainted by Kirk Rich Dials (the best)."

Just another example of how eBay sellers believe that "original dial" means just the slab of metal. It can't be original without the original paint from the factory.

 

Don't know if anyone has spotted this but it might be a nice catch.

Not bad if bought for under $500. It's powered by a 50x series, a rebadged Record caliber 195x. It's technically NOT an in-house Longines movement even though they acquired Record in 1961. Still, a solid caliber.

 

Could I ask the experts - what is that brown leaf-like spot near the 4 o-clock marker? Is that on the dial or on the crystal? Thanks!

 

Would be nice to have bigger pics, eh?

 

Quite good price - will anybody buy the watch - I will need the bracelet

I don't know that much about Longines but this looks good to me

Yes... and it looks like it's been in good hands.

 

That is a nice watch. Al showed it to me a little while back.

 

Gents, I can't believe I'm gonna do this, but feast your eyes on this baby:

I've looked at it 4 times and if it's a redial it's among the very best I've ever seen. If it wouldn't nearly wipe out the home improvement fund I'd be all over it. The seller says "hole" but I think they mean "ding" on the caseback as I see it only on the outside and not on the inside.

With only an hour left, you might want to keep an eye on it.

 

Yeah, it ended with no bids. I think the seller was a victim of his starting price. I'll be waiting for it to be relisted.

 

Any ideas as to where in the $$$ scale this may end up ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/181167384113Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network discussed briefly a few days back.

 

Well, at least you know it has benefited from a quality service.
