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 ?

Maybe a vintage mil-watch is not for you?

Yes maybe or I've to reassure my wife.

I've found this one, i'm not a fan of this strap but the dial looks great.

For information, she has been sold 1500€...

Did you get it?
I found it too.... but I did not buy it. Once on the wrist it didn’t « sing » to me as they say.
It was a nice bike ride to the viewing though.

I only bid up to €1k, so we’ll above what I was prepared to spend. Neat watches though and that one was in particularly good condition.

I have one (but back in Melbourne).

The case is the same but it has square font for the numbers.

When I get back to Melbourne, I'll post a picture.

I always wondered whether these would be worth anything.

No, I did not want to put so much on this model.

I have what appears to be a fourth dial variant.

Very exciting to hear this! Will we be seeing some photos soon?

Here it is, all Longines confirms it is a MN, but can't tell me if they ever made it like this. It's at the very end of the production run. Anyway, if a second one appears at some point, this one will be its sister. My gut feeling is that it is correct but admittingly, I have not seen one like it before. The dial and hands are radioactive so it's not something recent either way.

This is a great writeup!

For the record.

New MN spotted on eBay... Looks like this example is the latest produced known, just a tad younger than mine 😗. Both have their back (having been) blank(ed).

@Syrte

You right I haven't been clear, it's an old listing.

Haven't seen it flipped elsewhere, that dial stopped my bid on a pretty low level anyway... Was just curious about that blank back 😀

Lat to the table, but this is a great resource and am very pleased you decided to share it. I am sure it will help many people who venture into the MN world. Myself included
