Hi group !!
Would anyone know what we have here ??
Is it just a common generic, or would it have any collectibility ??
It's in a sterling case, is pin~set, has unique hands, is 50mm's or close to 2", and works great. That's all that I know !!
If anyone can clue me in, please feel free to comment. I'm also interested in an estimate as to value.
Thanks for your time and help !!
regards,
bb

Richard M. JonesHi Buster, I would guess an early Longines,possibly for a South American market with the pin set and sterling case (but it doesn't have the movement corrosion often seen on watches from S.A.). Not a common generic by any means. I think it should be worth $175 and I will generously offer you $50 for it!

Richard M. JonesI wanted to add that the beveled plates and steel escape wheel are nice and show quality. Further, I may be off base on the South American market guess because the dial is not marked and most of the S.A. Longines have attractive Spanish or Portugese dial markings.

Buster BeckThanks for your wisdom Deacon !!
I have listed it for sale in IHC For Sale items and tried to put a middle of the road price on it. Here is the link :
