    You ever seen 17 Rubis on a Longines movement before? Strange thing.

    Hi Again

    Took a closer look at your movement... I can make out 2129 but cant see the SC for seconds central...

    here are some zoom in pics

    Good Hunting

    Sold on Ebay recently. To my memory, I haven't seen a Longines movement marked "17 Rubis".

    I have also never seen a Longines movement marked 17 Rubis and given the finish of the movement, I would be concerned that it has spent time outside of the case. A message to Longines is in order. Keep us updated!
