I AM A 100% POSITIVE EBAY MEMBER SINCE 2002- PLEASE BID/BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!! CASE: This is an absolutely beautiful 4 piece genuine solid HIGH GRADE SOLID 18 CARAT GOLD watch case. The case is in great condition, showing no major wear for its advanced age. The case back shows only light wear. The case back has an old inscription which is faded and cannot be made out. I can see one shallow ding. The solid 18 carat gold dust cover is in good order showing a few light marks. There is nothing that detriments the watch when it is worn on the wrist. The rear of the case is hinged and is in good working order. The wire lugs have NOT had any old repairs. The inside of the case is beautifully marked with hallmarks for solid 18 carat gold and date letter for 1926. It is stamped AB for Alfred Baume who were importers of Longines movements at this time. The case measures 3.2cms (32mm) in diameter excluding the lugs and crown. It is of excellent quality. DIAL: This is a fantastic lovely original bright white original dial. It is FULLY SIGNED 'WEST END WATCH CO' and in BLUE lettering 'SECUNDAS' The dial is in excellent condition and is showing NO hairlines that I can see. All of the black painted Arabic numerals are crisp and sharp. The dial has a gorgeous black painted outer minute track. The dial has 2 fantastic original ‘pointer’ style golden steel hands which look to be in excellent condition. The crystal is a brand new replacement from new and as such is in excellent condition showing only light wear marks. MOVEMENT: This is a wonderful genuine high grade LONGINES 12.92 top quality 16 jewels(CHATON SET) gilt movement. It is unsigned but will be signed by Longines underneath the dial. This fantastic movement is in working order AND HAS JUST BEEN FULLY SERVICED. I have timed it over 24 hours and keeps good time to within a few mins a day. It is manual wind and stem set. All in all this is a beautiful high quality original LONGINES movement. The crown is gold in color and looks to be a later replacement. BAND: This beautiful timepiece is fitted with a fantastic quality 14mm brown leather band. The band is lightly used and in good condition. I would estimate that this watch would fit up to an 8 inch wrist. This is an absolutely fantastic band to this gorgeous watch!!
