    Hey there OF!,

    I'm being offered this vintage Longines with a 6 million movement serial, meaning ca. 1940 with a 12.68 movement (?)

    Could anyone give me their opinion on it any its possible value?

    I like the dial and doesn't seem to be redone, but I could be mistaken, also the movement is missing the mounting screws (view picture) which is never a good sign.

    What do the experts think?

    Regards!!

    Movement is a 12.68Z. It would be interesting to see the inside of the case-back to know more (e.g. Swiss?, gold-plated?). Dial looks original based on a number of factors, though the hour numerals are an uncommon style. Missing case-screws are common and not worrisome in isolation. Reminds me of this one, which sold for $550 USD earlier this year (see link below): https://omegaforums.net/threads/help-with-vintage-longines-circa-1941.76489/

    P.S. Serial number dates the watch to 1943/1944.

    Bottom right lug suggests that the case is gold-plated. Interesting that the back on this one is plated whereas it is steel on the other one.

    Sorry for the non response. I got a great and helpful response from @DirtyDozen12 and I didn't think there was a lot more to talk about, it was an impulse thing, sorry. :thumbsdown:.

    Thanks @dsio and @Nathan1967 I think this is the way it should be.
