To buy or not to buy
I have been offered this Longines by my local watch specialist for 1400 USD, it would fit in my collection, but I have found it difficult to research, any thoughts?

It's a discontinued model, so not many around in that colour anymore. There are some black dial versions on Chrono24 for around the $1500 mark, so you are in the ball park.
The following site was selling them at 1174 USD so I'd try and haggle on the price and see if you can get them down further. If it's discontinued they'd probably be happy to move it on so try your luck and see how you go. Happy hunting 👌

Thank you
It’s quite an attractive piece but too hard to read at a glance. Needs orange hands, perhaps.
