Lau Siew MingI believe the pictures posted by James above is the same watch that I bought recently. I have only seen it couple of times in the past few years and appear to be rarer than the AC weems. I wonder if any body know many of this actually been produced.
The case is slightly bigger then the Weems, at ~31mm, and is basically identical to the 3-piece keystone case used in the other A11s.
The issue s/n on the caseback is 41-505 which matched the production date of the movement no 6076270. As opposed to Weems, it has has a fully hackable 12L movement (12.68N) via a hacking spring beneath the balance wheel. The caseback marking now included the full specification no. 94-27834 instead of just 27834 in the earlier Weems model.
Below are some side by side shots with the Weems I posted earlier.

Ken GordonHi Werner
Looks like a nice Longines Type A-11. Appears the leather strap has been attached since the 1940s as well - looks great!
All the best, Ken
