    Reduced to $250, fees included.
    Offered for sale is one of two Longines Grand Prize watches in stainless steel, the other in a separate listing.
    Reference 2731, caliber 342 automatic movement. Original finish dial with full Arabic numeral markers and original hands. Excellent condition.
    Case is also in excellent condition, with fine definition in the lug facets. Polishing history unknown, but it appears very few times if at all.
    Movement photo credit to the gent who sold it to me. I am not inclined to tinker with a well-running movement and superb dial, so I do not want to pull the crystal/crown to get to it! Those familiar with the Grand Prize movement will appreciate the presence of all paint on the rotor, and the absence of scratches in the case back. It appears to have been well cared for these 50-odd years. In fact, I will include a receipt dated 02/08/2015 for the service it received per the previous caretaker. The sound of the rotor on its track is hypnotic, yet another quality that fans of this caliber will admire.
    The case measures 33.4mm without the winding crown. Strap is not included.
    See my "exquisite" phone-camera photos in harsh side light for further description (apologies for the less-than-studio quality images but hopefully you can make a fair assessment). Bearing in mind the "quality" you'll get, let me know if you need additional photos. I have tried to show the dial with light from both sides, and hands in a different location for a better idea of how beautiful the dial is.
    $250 USD includes shipping and insurance to an address in the United States. I will accept a wire transfer, or PayPal, and there will be no PayPal fee from me. I will not ship overseas. (I am sincerely sorry for this, but my experience doing so has been so horrid I cannot bring myself to attempt it again. Perhaps an interested international buyer has an associate in the U.S. willing to facilitate?) Also, I have no interest in trades.
    I can be reached here by private message, or email at: metersfirst @ gmail. com (no spaces). Let me know if you have any questions or need references (same user ID on TRF/TZ/WUS and as timeexposure on the 'bay). Best regards, Bryan Brooks
