    I wanted to thank Valjoux72 for accepting a package on my behalf from a salty German Ebay seller unwilling to ship to the U.S.A.

    Without his help, I could not have acquired a beautiful Longines pocket watch.

    I believe it was sold in Italy or Switzerland. More likely, the further.

    It was a pleasure to help you out;)! Wow, good to see all three together.
    I don´t know which one is the most beautiful...
    Longines really made extraordinary watches in these older days.

    Here are two of them. I don't have a movement shot of the new one - but it is a 17 jewel variant of the same movement.

    Certain differences are interesting like the location of the case screws, the chaton for the anchor jewel, and the finer anchor of the slightly earlier piece.
