Hello Longines lovers
Is there anyone who might know what ref number this Longines has ? I have googled for 2 hours now and no luck ….

Best regards / J

It’s a pretty cool looking watch, but the same old rules always apply- since it doesn’t have a model name, I don’t think anyone can say anything without opening it.
Crown looks to be a gold plated replacement - also unclear whether the watch is gold or might be a US market gold filled watch.

I suspect that you will struggle to find anyone who recognizes this reference. Longines offered so many references (i.e. case designs) that most collectors simply refer to calibers instead. Additionally, there were many locally-made cases with no Longines reference numbers. I have not seen a case like this one before. Maybe the movement inside is a cal. 27.0, if the case is Swiss-made and 18K.

Watch is 18k full gold, crown and bracelet not gold

Yes you are right , I don’t think the seller will/manage to open it. He is an old man , I’m glad if he could give me correct measurements tomorrow
