Hi guys, newcomer to the collecting world so I really appreciate your thoughts! A friend has this late 40´s 30CH 5965 for sale. The most interesting part is that it apparently comes with the original box, papers and bracelet! He is asking 6K€. Pictures are not great, but any thoughts? Thanks
Firstly, this thread is not intended for inquiries. You should get more feedback if you start a thread about this watch. Secondly, original box, papers, strap, etc. can add value but many of these apparently "full-sets" have been put together from disparate components. Lastly, the condition of the dial is of the utmost importance when assessing value and this one, though original, is somewhat worn. IMO, 6k EUR is too much for this piece, even if the box, papers, and strap were original. Here is a similar piece for a more reasonable price: https://www.ebay.it/itm/Longines-Ch...934660?hash=item4200016bc4:g:iXUAAOSwqrZcSOVO

You should probably start a new thread to get advice. This is just a "what are you wearing today" thread.

A fine safe sunny day to trot out the 13.33z ... too long in the box.

1970 ref. 3007-528. This is one of those where the strap was as much as the watch. But who can resist any vintage Longines!
