    Looks correct. 9k is standard for Dennison (English) cased gold watches. That movement is interesting in that when you engage the hacking mechanism, the seconds hand continues until it hits the 12. Otherwise, the 6942 is (to my understanding) essentially a de-tuned, manual wind, 431. Price seems a bit steep to me, considering these aren’t all that sought after. Good looking watch, but these have been much more interesting Longines on the sales forum lately for similar money. Some links you might find interesting:
