Completed Longines for a fellow member

[astonjenks]

Guys

 

Today marks the end of the build/recase of the Longines for a great fellow member, i'd like to thank him for his commission and patience!

 

This movement has had a new stem, new balance shaft, new crown and been serviced, it was then retro fitted into a custom made case and fitted with a black croc/leather strap and deployant buckle.

 

Both the new owner and I am very happy with the result, I hope you like it too. It is photographed with a previous Labrador watch that I built for the same member. The Lab is 47mm and the Longines 44.

 

Happy to discuss any bespoke builds like this for that special watch you might want.

 

Regards

Awesome work my friend, well done.  Very elegant looking, both of them

Many thanks SSteel

 

Both movements are around 100 years old so no looking bad for their age!

Very nice AJ!

These are my kind of watches   ....my dream is to source a vintage PATEk, IWC or VC movement to transplant one time in the future

 

Actually, the labrador/omega dépose depicted is more than 113 years young.....while that Longines 18.90M calibre is from 1924 so running into its 90th year,,,

So if that Labrador/Omega beats 14,400 bph, then in its 113 years it has ticked 14,254,272,000 times.

 

Amazing.  Mind-boggling, actually.

It stopped for a few days whilst we worked on it so a tad less
