Dear respectable members of the forum.
I have this old Longines Watch but have no Information and details about the watch. Help me identify what it is and how much I should list it for on the forum for sell. It keeps good time and works. It is 10K gold filled. Any Information about the watch will be helpful to me.

Waffle dials like that were around in the late 50's and early 60's, so it's probably a 19AS or 340 of some sort inside. An extra tell is the font of Automatic. It also looks to be a front loading watch, which Longines introduced in 1958. Both are nice movements, but 10ct gold filled cases are a dime a dozen. Raw & unserviced these non-series watches bring $200 - $350 on eBay depending on condition.

Thanks Dennis for the info on the Longines. Looks like they don't seem to have reasonable value for some of such good watches.

Agreed. The solid gold pieces are really going up, and more than just the value of the gold, but the gold filled and gold capped models aren't going up nearly as much.

I should consider selling it for $300 and try on the forum.
