    Hi all,
    I'm selling here TWO classic Longines ref 8888s, with the iconic 30L movement. To quote @ulackfocus, from the late 50's through the mid-late 60's the Longines 30Z (production version = 30L) kicked the collective butts of most brands in the Neuchatel Observatory Chronometer Competitions of the time - even the revered Omega 30t and Zenith 135 calibers.

    The ref 8888 is a classic in minimalist design. A dress watch that is never going out of fashion.
    But wait for it..... one of them comes with the original Longines strap and buckle!

    Here is an opportunity to pick up an absolute beauty of a watch, and a spare movement, all at the same time.
    - no refunds unless incorrectly described
    - plenty of positive feedback. A few examples:

    Priced at US$800 plus shipping for BOTH watches!

    A nice example and a parts watch together for $800?!?! Somebody needs to buy these ASAP. Hell, the parts watch is decent by most standards!

    Quite the bargain. Can't imagine this will be here for long.

    I'd grab this in a heartbeat if I could..

    There will be a few more!
    Already sold 6 since this current 'sales campaIgn started, with a few more still on the FS board.

    My next task is to learn how to remove snap-backs, so I can take movement photos before listing a few more.
