Longines
I got this very cheap from a garage sale..... I looked at it and it caught my attention even though I doubted if it was an original piece. So I contacted Longines and my mind was blown away. They actually managed to identify the watch for me through their handwritten registers. 18ct rose gold fitted with a Longines manually wound mechanical movement, caliber 14.16. It was invoiced on December 3rd 1964 to the company Ostersetzer, which was at the time a Longines agent in Italy.

Narrow, long, and tasteful. I feel bad saying that the signed buckle is what really catches my eye.

Thanks for your feedback and input. The watch is exactly how I found it...... Don't feel bad about anything, I'm very proud of it myself
This is such a beautiful piece ❤ And, amazing Longines was able to identify this watch and had so much detail in their record. Love Longines for that.

I was also shocked that they had all that info..... I could never have imagined it...... And I still have the email threads on how they even guided me to finding the Ref number for them to be able to identify the watch..... I was impressed
Definitely a lucky find. Congrats.

Best I've found from a garage sale is an old BTCC Scalextric set. Still very happy with that though lol
