I picked this one up a few months ago but had hardly worn it before it went in to see my watch doctor. It had a gouged crystal and a scuffed bezel together with a pretty dried up movement and was desperate for some love.

It has just recently come back to me after a service and some light cosmetics and I must say since then it has really been growing on me. 😀

It´s a ref 7414 with a cal 30CH, invoiced in June 1964 to the Swiss market. The date and details I received for free and within 24 hours from the very friendly Longines vintage department, my thanks and compliments to them.

Your watch, cristos is absolutely wonderful. Pristine condition. Congrats.

Well, after a bit of an extended break, where I mostly wasn't wearing a watch 🙁 due to completely remodelling and fitting out my spare room over the past six weeks, I thought I better post something! Me and an old favourite in front of the first fire of the year, winter has definitely arrived here in the UK this week!

plus evidence of my efforts

in case anyone is wondering, that is an early 1970's Metamec mantle clock (total rubbish but it looks the part on the 1930's desk and it belonged to my grandmother).

Good to be back 👍... Though my watch fund is sadly depleated 🙁

I put my first fire together last night because I had my mom over and she's always cold lol.

People are fascinated when they learn I've a fire place right in the middle of NYC.

My old apt on Central Park South had one of the nicest fire places I've ever seen - so that's (2) I've had. BTW - my friends used to call that fireplace - "The Leg Spreader"...lol


Memories. Now I get excited if I don't have to get up to take a leak when I sleep for 7 hours straight lol

I'm sure it's futile, but dibs anyways! 🥰
