Longines
For sale is a Swiss Made Longines men's watch with reference number 6163-5, presumably dating back to the mid to late 1950s. It features a round stainless steel case with beefy lugs, measuring approximately 33mm in diameter and just under 10mm in thickness. The dial on this particular example comes in a creamy off-white/champagne finish with raised gold tone indices on which gold tone 'feuille' shaped hands indicate the time. The crown is unsigned and therefore probably not original, but it is a typical and period correct oversize crown. Inside the watch beats a high quality Longines 23ZS manual wind movement, the successor to the highly regarded 10.68. Said movement was entirely disassembled, cleaned and lubricated, and is accurately keeping time. The watch comes fitted to a brand new dark brown leather strap with generic stainless steel buckle, ready to wear.
The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, but is overall in decent honest condition. You will find normal signs of wear on the case, but no overly coarse scratches or dents. Said case is unpolished and therefore in original shape. The dial has seen better days, with patina in the shape of uniformly spread specks as well as a few more apparent spots. The hands and numerals show some staining as well, but are overall in decent condition still. The crystal is brand new, and therefore free from scratches. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch has been freshly serviced with eye for authenticity, and is working perfectly. Comes as a watch only: sadly no original box or paperwork are accompanying this piece.
Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance.
