Pure Beauty, Indeed.

Oh yes, one of my regrets. And not the smallest one. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 21st, 2020-11:14

I can feel the sentiments sir. I too have few regrets but life moves on and we have some beautiful watches to give us some solace.

The famous timing question... ;) [nt]

Sheer beauty, a totally flawless dial! Thanks for sharing ;-) [nt]

Incredible for a 82 years old watch. [nt]

The great thing is, well-executed email is meant to last "forever" (meaning at least for several centuries, or at least so I was told :-) [nt]

 
 By: FabR : August 21st, 2020-13:37

Absolutely. That's a great pro. Can you imagine this watch is that old when you look at it? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 21st, 2020-23:07

Yes, at some point I guess the contrast also becomes fascinating between the unchanged enamel, and the case, hands, etc. which show the signs of time...Love it!❤️😀 [nt]

Would love to see in person.

The dimensions are great. It must be even better in the real, indeed. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 21st, 2020-12:22

Perfect!

 
 By: dhendolan : August 21st, 2020-12:40
Perfect! Perfect!

A killer. A real killer, front side and backside, but alas no pictures of the movement. [nt]

Enamel dial, blued hands, great manual wound movement.

What more to ask for? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 21st, 2020-13:46

A classic from the time when Longines was at its peak....

 
 By: darmatgre-1 : August 21st, 2020-13:44
hard to match Longines in the late 1930s and 1940s. Beautiful watch. Darren

Indeed, my dear Darren. A top great watch. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 21st, 2020-13:47

Perfect in every aspect❣️👌🏻☀️😃 [nt]

 
 By: MCG (Markus) : August 21st, 2020-13:48

Yes, I still damn myself to have missed it. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 21st, 2020-13:49

That would be a great remake. [nt]

 
 By: aris d : August 21st, 2020-14:04

Alas, the movement issue... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 21st, 2020-14:16

So true — elegance from an elegant time. [nt]

So beautiful, as close to perfect as one can get...

 
 By: ZSHSZ : August 21st, 2020-15:52
One can feel the 30’ vibe by looking at that dial!

I feel its timeless design. Thanks, Z. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 21st, 2020-23:08

Simple, classy, timeless, perfect 😳😳 [nt]

As we like them. ;) [nt]

Wow 😍😍😍

 
 By: Watcholic_id : August 21st, 2020-21:18
The whole watch is just perfect IMO. Is it fixed lugs? Thanks for sharing the pic

I cannot tell you, my friend. I would say no, but not sure. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 21st, 2020-23:10

Ah.. ok 👌🏾

 
 By: Watcholic_id : August 22nd, 2020-03:40
Nevertheless, it’s a marvel from Longines’ yesteryear 😊 Cheers

+1. [nt]

Stunning No regrets sir only a delayed decision to be made later in life [nt]

 
 By: watch-guy.com : August 21st, 2020-23:15

In general, I would agree with that, but seeing another one like this is very challenging... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 21st, 2020-23:28

Wow...

 
 By: Mr.Gatsby : August 22nd, 2020-04:42
Is this for sale somewhere ?

It has been sold some months ago. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2020-05:15

Another example

 
 By: gring : October 23rd, 2020-15:12
These cal. 15.26s sent to Zipper in Poland are beautiful. I’ve one from 1938. ...  

Wow, just beautiful! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : October 24th, 2020-02:07

Salutations...

 
 By: gring : October 24th, 2020-11:31
Thanks, Nicolas. Though I seem to post only every few years, Im always amazed by the quality of the watches on display here and the breadth of collector’s interests. Ill endeavor to post a few more interesting ones from the box... Best Larry

That will be my biggest pleasure, and I am sure I don't only speak for myself. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : October 24th, 2020-12:59

It looks new! Amazing timepiece. Are you sure it’s 82 yo ??!! [nt]

 
 By: hmd4m : October 24th, 2020-14:06

According to Longines, yes. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : October 24th, 2020-23:49

Beauty ! Magician you are ...finding jewels out of no where [nt]

 
 By: Horology75 : October 25th, 2020-07:31

I spend too much time hunting watches in the real and virtual world. ;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : October 25th, 2020-08:53

Oh my, no words. Here is hoping that Longines reissues this one. ( as I stand no chance at ever acquiring the original) [nt]

 
 By: davudvl : October 26th, 2020-19:41

Well, finding one like this is certainly more difficult than funding it. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : October 26th, 2020-22:44

A little late that I discovered this classical beauty.. But never to late to admire such a marvel..

 
 By: hs111 : October 27th, 2020-08:13
Enamel dial, flawless it appears, great Caliber. A piece to enjoy for the lucky connoisseur. Thx for sharing, Best hs

Well said, mon ami. [nt]
