1928 RARE LONGINES SUB SECOND WATCH   

Price: SOLD

item # LON811

Here is a Longines watch that is nearly 9 decades old.  It is quite amazing to see the watch is still in this great of condition and still retain its original factory finish dial is just unbelievable.  The dial is made of solid silver and in excellent aged condition.  Apparently, the crystal is possible to be the original crystal that initially came with the watch nearly 90 years ago.  The radium has produced a beautiful burn on the dial giving a beautiful patina.  Spade original set of hands.  White gold filled case is in very good condition and measures 22mm across excluding the crown by 37.2mm lug tip to lug tip.  The watch has been serviced and running strong and accurate.  The manual wind movement is the very rare Longines caliber 9.47N with serial number 4799730 dating this watch to 1928.  As the stem slot is slightly worn, after setting the time, press the crown back in using upward push in force.  This will properly allow the time setting gears to reconnect to winding gears instead.  A very rare and well aged timepiece of this age is much to hard to find these days.  Will come with a brand new genuine leather strap.  Ready for daily wearing!
