Hi folks

I'd like to buy a vintage gold watch. I saw this Longines that I like quite a lot. As I'm not a Longine specialist, do you think the dial has been refinished or not. It looks like it has not but I'd like your opinion first.
thanks for your help.

 

Its look original to my eyes.

 

No minute/seconds hashes markers? No model name on the dial? How does the case back look?

 

For my eyes also look original but yes a picture of the back will help.

 

Seems original (un-retouched) to me. Did you get a picture of the caseback?

 

I love the sword hands.

 

Hello all

Thanks for your answers. The caseback is pristine and the movement seems fine too. I try to negociate for 725. what do you thinks about th price? Pics :

 

Hello conelpueblo

I saw many Longines from this era with no minutes markers

 

Nobody else can see the six markers?

 

hello JiminOz, that's actually weird... the left part looks a little higher. Play of light?
edit : looks at this second picture of the dial. The 6 o' index looks much better. I know why it did not pop up in my mind. All the other pics show some legit indices.


I found the reference, longines 7008. on the others I saw, no sub indices for the minutes. The font of 'automatic" looks slightly different but they are 3 o' date versions.

 

They are all that way a small amount.

 

Yes, but none of those have a central seconds hand, hence my reaction. I have seen Longines with central seconds and no markers before, but they are, in general, the exception.

 

ok thanks,

this one is amazing and about the same price


this one is very nice too

 

Zombie / Old thread...
Came up in another discusion on the Ref 7008; this is certainly NOT an original dial. Seasoned eyes may agree this dial has been re-painted. Anyone here on OF is the owner?

 

In a way, but that person has not been a regular contributor. That person to whom the watch belonged back then is a collector/ seller who owns a website where he sells watches; he posted this picture with an embedded promotional signature linking to the website where the watch was offered for sale, and the mods didn’t take it too kindly.
The watch is a gross redial.

 

We agree. Ok thx!

 

Cool watch and 6 marker could make it an unique feature !

 

Another 7008. And why you should not wear your gold watch on a perlon...
