A new one to wear soon!

 

Grandad Olaf's 1905 17 jewel Longines..... doesn't fit the wrist so well, but still keeps good time!

 

Ah hell, that chrono is nice...

From 1939; used to be my everyday watch until reset lever failed. Can't find one anywhere.It still keeps time though, so gets an outing now and then.

 

Welcome!

Is that an enamel dial?

 

Thanks for welcome, it looks like a great site!
No, I think it is painted. I use the proverbial "retired Omega trained" watchmaker in London (who is an Italian!) who kindly says it could be original, however, I'm not certain.

 

Another beauty to share with all you long-gene-s! As pictures in Goldbergers book page 146

 

I don't care if this is a re-dial, I'm really smitten with it. And, I'm not sure it's a re-dial.

the watch has a gold "spacer" on the case-back which makes the watch sit kind of high-ish on the wrist and shows of these lovely Calatrava style lugs. Pretty cool for what it is...

 

Don't wear it often but it sure feels good when I do.

 

Barmy you and I need to have a long chat about signing those adoption papers!

 

1938 Czech Pilot...

 

what a beauty! How long have you owned this piece?

 

About a week! Can't stop looking at it.....

 

I can help you $$$$$$$$$$

 

Edit: crap! this Longines thread keeps getting in the middle of my WRUW postings.... can any of the moderators around here put a stop to this?

 

Hmm, likely a new design for Longines....not sure I like the way they are moving.

 

This makes a great watch for work...or anytime!
