Back to the subject!

Here's one that I'd bet will clean up very nicely:

I agree, however, I hate recessed crowns. Not trying to discourage anyone, but they are generally a pain in the ass to wind...

I feel your pain. 😜 Got a 2343 Summit 19A with a hidden crown. It is tough to give it a few twists to get it going.

A nice 10K gold filled caliber 19A:

Here's a shot of the movement:

19A_zps69ad3c43.jpg

It's from 1960, which would be the very last of the 19A series. The only reason I'm putting it in this thread is because I have a sweet 14K solid gold 19A already. If it were a 352, it would have been bought already. 😉

Me and a couple other forum members have bought from the seller before. If you'd like to contact him via e-mail let me know. Might make everybody happy going direct.

How do I play? Don't know how to paste a link that looks like the above, but it's eBay US item 171093830354. I almost pulled the trigger, but thought I was missing something? Doesn't seem as nice as the seller says it is?

I don't know... that poor fish looks awful dry. 😀

Yeah, not so great condition for that price. The fish is out of it's green water completely. Let's not talk about the heavy dial patina either.

Um, I see now this thread is more for recommendations and not for questions. Apologies! Still crashing, er, feeling my way around...

S'alright. When you have a question about a listing, start a new thread.

Not good enough pictures to be sure the dial is original. 🙁

I think it's original - too much about it is right for a ref 7412 - but it's got fairly extensive dial measles which are hard to see as the pics are slightly out of focus.

As for the other, I do feel a certain itch in my trigger finger...not quite an Ashley-level itch, but at the least, I'm going to make it expensive for someone else.

Lou, Dennis, Mike: sorry Longines newbie question! For the 2nd Longines with the black dial, is that strap a Longines strap or a 3rd party strap?

Aftermarket, probably Speidel.

I'll take that as a dibs. No interference from me now.
