An unsung hero of the Home For Wayward Watches here. Picked up 10 years ago or more off of Ebay for like $45. Had it serviced, put it on a shark strap, and is ready to go, but scarcely chosen. Flawlessly accurate over several days time. I actually really enjoy wearing it when it comes out.

They really are a little underappreciated, beautifully made movements. I've acquired quite a few, all high grade 25 jewel auto and manual movements but that said the same care goes into the 17 jewel units too. Solid performers!
I've a 24 slot box full of them.

Felt like a return to my original favorite vintage brand of watch so a '54 Longines 19AS in its 14kt gold case is chosen. I've had this one for a long time.
