·Again today, after some fine tuning. Longines cal. 12.92, 15-jewels, circa 1929. Reposed in a drawer for over 50 years, with a movement that was mechanically and aesthetically beyond hope, but a decent white gold filled case, and excellent vitreous enamel dial. I got lucky, and picked another a Longines in distressed case, crummy dial, but very good movement. Performed a transplant. Right off the bench after conditioning, the good movement gained about 20 minutes per day even after badly needed demagnetization. I added numerous timing washers to bring the watch to time. Shown earlier with white lune in the hands, but changed to green lume. Love it!
This 90-year old Longines continues to amaze me. Five days on the wrist, and checking the time just a moment ago, it hasn’t varied five seconds in five days! Yet it is not a chronometer. What’s not to like?

·Late entry.
First time I’ve noticed this, but would these hands have had lume in them originally?
Because as you can see in the picture, I can see through to the “O” in Omega and "U" in Automatic.
Looks rough around the edges like there used to be something there.
