The Condition
This rare vintage Longines is in a great condition despite its age. The case is in good condition with few signs of wear. The case have probably been polished through the years but still got the correct proportions. The dial is original and got some natural ageing with a smoth patina and some radium burn as a nice watch from the late 40’s, early 50’s should have. The crystal is in very good condition.
