So, i popped the first rectangular gold Longines open this morning, and this is what I found:

It looks to me like the caseback has:
Longines
CHT 1939H M0152
Japan

And the movement has:
Longines
Nine 9 Jewels
Swiss
V8
M901 3345
L 152 4



I'm not really sure how to put a reference number together with that, or how to find anything on it, but it's a start.
Anyone know of a Longines Archive to search through?



Not even sure how to open the other one - i don't see a place to open it other than around the bezel. And it's a wind up, so I'm really hesitant about opening it there. Although, it looks like that's where it's been opened before.

Hi, I have the same Watch, Longines with Japan movement, What is the value of this Longines Watch?
My Best Wishes....

Can't tell you much about quartz, but the mystery dial is cool. Probably a caliber 19.4 or similar inside.

 

Take the battery out of the first one before it leaks and destroys the movement. Get those two babies serviced and enjoy them!!!

 

This is where the (watch case) knife blade is inserted to separate the two halves of the case

PLEASE be careful. It is very easy for the blade to slip and scratch the case.
Hmmm........I'm forgetting something..........







Oh yeah.....now I remember! It's easy to cut yourself too.

 

Hello, Jean-Guy, and welcome!

Sadly, quartz watches are not in demand by collectors. Without seeing or examining your watch, I'd value it from $75-$100 in running condition.

 

Hi, Thanks Sadly, I have 2 other longines watches I bought lately, I will put more pictures to get some information. These are manual winding watches.
Thank you again for your reply ....
