Longines Weems Delight. Are there many fans, here?
Let me show you what I have, here. Sadly only pictures, but I am hunting one.
- A Japanese:
- A New Old Stock with its original strap, tag and box / papers!:
- Beautiful outside, it is marvellous inside: Cal 18.69N. Hunter Case Back.
Porcelain dial, 48 mm case, onion crown, history. This huge watch has all for it.
A last killing picture, taken during one of our GTGs:
One of my Grails. I missed the first two, one because I was slightly too late, the other because it was not the good time for me, but, without any doubt, one vintage Longines I will have some day.
Please show us yours!
Best,
Nicolas.

The watch, the box and papers...
that blew me away. But when you added the last shot with its family members! That's a meeting that would have been worth attending. Hope your search bears fruit.
There are some privileged moments, in a collector's life, indeed.
It is not a Patek, nor a Rolex, not even more whatever you want, it is the Creme de la Creme, just under your eyes. Your heart is beating faster, your hands are shaking, you just pray to have enough battery in your camera. The moment is immediately engrav...
You perfectly describe that situation ...
... Which sooner or later a collector has the Big fortune to live! This watch is a perfect example of the type of finding which would induce these feelings. A unique piece no matter the brand or model. It has the Power of start these emotions! Great post ...
Some images laying around.....
I guess you meant these models to be shown...? Regards, MTF ...
Thank you
yes definitely, when they are of that quality and provenance ;-) When it comes to navigation and chronographs vintage Longines reign supreme. Nothing, nothing comes close. Best Z'
I bet you do...
Longines? Same provenance? Lindberg/ A7/ 12.68 extralarge chrono or time only? 13.33 Z enamel dial?/ 13ZN flyback or non flyback, MP or sommatore, 30Ch, flagship, Conquest? More weems? Siderograph? I am ready, I can take it. Best Z'
Or simply
Dual crown/ Nautilus/ chronometers/ military? Such a depth in Longines... Z'
Some say size doesn't matter
but once you've tried on one of these "dinosaurs" on your wrist it's hard to get used to less. IMHO I think you'll struggle to find a better watch from any brand than the full size Lindbergh made in the Thirties. A true technical watch. Very fond memories...
What do I have to do to make you go out of the wood??? :)
All good, my friend. We miss you, here in Paris. Time to find the right time. Best, Nicolas
Dino stuff, only for the most passionate and seasoned collector
Or connoisseur... I also miss our Longines meetings. Maybe in 2016? Take carre, my friend. Z'
Put it away!!!
Its the one I really want and you do this to tease me... Cheers Andrew
Could be fixed...
an orange sharpie and a keen eye... or even an orange strap. It may be a struggle but I am sure that I could get over it with this amazing piece! Cheers Andrew
Great trio. I also own the Lecoultre. Small but how lovely!
My Lecoultre, along with the Mark 7 not Weems. Best, Nicolas ...
JLC diversion....
I've read your JLC posts with great interest, Nicolas. I'm a fan, though I must admit they often get overlooked in the drawer. Here's my companion to yours... ...
This is one I miss, with the thin lugs, while mine has the fat lugs.
Thanks for the compliment. Best, Nicolas
