    Magnificent. Have you obtained an extract of archive and may I ask what the serial number is?

    very cool watch, would you call this a minute recorder? Perhaps could be used as a doctors watch? Dial is amazing..

    thanks.
    This one is just a first gen, four hander, before the minute recorder (fifth hand) was introduced, its serial is the earliest Ive seen from July 1938, sent to Baume in London. Here’s the Longines cheat sheet on the 12.68z stop

    Hi larry,
    Great information, really appreciate it. Starting a small collection of Longines chronographs and still in the learning phase. Information such as you replied with is an enormous help.
    Best

    Put it on today as your post reminded me it’s in the drawer. 1948 14kt Gold with some interesting lugs.
    LTC saw it and said that’s nice, I would wear that....::censored::

    Hi,
    Here is the Longines extract information. It is actually 33.6mm excluding the crown in diameter.
    Cheers Russell.

    In this instance nothing specific, just when I see a nice Longines watch I just like to know what year and country it was sold to... thanks again for sharing it, it’s really lovely :thumbsup:
