A really nice “narrow serif” sold earlier today, making just north of €1000 in spite of the fact there was no mention of Marine Nationale in the listing. My snipe didn’t even register...

I have bought this one 😀
Will report back here once it arrived.
My feeling is that this one is going to be extremely nice.

Big congratulations !

Thanks a lot.
There are still some questionmarks as to condition but let’s see when it arrives. It still is a 70 year old military watch and when you look at it that way, it looks really well preserved.

Congratulations !

Was monitoring the sale, despite the awful pictures I think that was a good buy 👍

I'm a coward, so the rusted second hand holded me back 😁

Can not wait for your report 🍿

Anyone have tips regarding replacement plexis? Were these special in any way (thicker, reinforced,...)?
I'm also thinking about having the hands relumed by James Hyman.
Ofcourse the movement will require a good service.

But let's not get ahead of things and first confirm good receipt 😉
An email with information about the piece has already been requested from Longines.

The geigerteller says 4 microsievert per hour, that is doable 😁
I was looking for this watch but the radium hands scared me (my wife to be honest) ... I've seen you want to relume the hands, is-it possible to "remove" the radium and put tritium hands ?
