These are getting harder and harder to find. If you want one, prepare to pay between $5K and $10K or more...

You find gold cased 30CH in good original condition for 3500€.
I saw a steel version currently for sale for about 5000€.
I doubt that you can find a good dial. If I remember well, @Northernman is hunting a dial for his 30CH for a long time now.
And I still haven’t found what I’m looking for..........

Aurel Bacs keeps driving up the prices. Everyone's clutching onto them like lotto tickets.

Hi Northernman, are you looking for a “normal” dial for 741x?

Last year there were a few 741x watches floating about. I bought two steel ones.
One in very good shape, the other in fair shape for a 1960s watch and I saw maybe 5 others for sale. So not that hard to find, but expensive.

Totally different watch. A fraction of the collectability and price.

Ok. Anyway the wittnauer is a very solid case and vomes with a valjoux movement.

Longines is a fly back, in house movement. Very different breed.

We are talking about Longines with 30CH movement.

The companies were connected but not the watches. Longines distributed watchss through Wittnauer and later (post war) bought them. But Wittnauer and Record watches don’t carry Longines movements— and are therefore not Longines watches.
