Another one owner from the same grand estate here in LA! This one caught my eye because, well first it's Longines, and then because they were clearly going for the Cartier tank look but with their own classic style. LOVE the two layered lugs that carry around the case:



They did this one in solid sterling silver, then similar to Cartier, plated gold overtop. Wear/fading as you can see, but gives it a cool look and still very presentable I think. Macro of the silver hallmark, French swan:



Original strap and buckle on this one too!



Size is about 22mm wide not including the crown, but then about 36mm long which makes it wear very well. Here's a shot on my 6.5 inch wrist:



Winding and setting feel great, but no service history that I know of, so as always with vintage, a service is recommended for regular wear. I don't have movement pics of this one, but happy to take it to my watchmaker and get some if the buyer would like.

No box or papers with this one, but did come in a cool little vintage box that will be included:



Another one owner with all the fixings. I think $350 covers me and someone gets a tank that will stand out from the others for very little cash! That will include fully insured shipping anywhere in the US. International shipping to be discussed.

Payment via Paypal F&F, Wise, or Venmo.

No returns unless misrepresented. And it won't be. I have a lot of great feedback here to prove that.

Thanks for looking at this one owner beaut! And as always, thanks to OF for the space!

Yeah, shot fired at Cartier with this one- down to the gold plated sterling. This would be equally as attractive on a woman as a man.

This is terrific value!

Thank you! That was definitely my goal. Just want to see this on a wrist where it belongs!

I’ve had several people reach out asking how it’s running and to see movement shots.

It winds and sets really well, and so far lying flat in my watch box it’s keeping good time. Again though, my assumption is that it sat in this estate unused for decades, so a service would be recommended.

And then I was able to get to my watchmaker for a couple macro movement/case back pics (which shows old service marking)
