chris5264 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have been into supercompressor's lately,,some of the vintage are nice but then it may need work. This has a vintage look, same case that was used in the original from the 60s but is new. I would enjoy your comments on it. also, If anyone has a vintage super compressor I would really enjoy seeing a picture or two. thanks. Here is a good pic with a story hxxp://watchluxus.com/longines-legend-diver-wins-award replace the xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimster Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Here's an Accutron from the 70's that you don't see around: They're powered by a 218 tuning fork. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemaniac Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 yeah but to use the internal bezel ring you have to unscrew the crown which would nullify the watertight integrity. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Great to see the anme Longines mentioned again...looking for a Longines watch is what brought me t5o fing the old RWGsr and collecting replicas This diver has the look of the Longines and the spirit of an JLC...a retro-looking beauty indeed. http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/3382/de...eestrenofe8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztech Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I've always thought that Longines is an underated watch company. They've really made some strides with their new line. BTW, that's an awsome pic of that diver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Nice example Jimster,,,,,thanks. I agree the screw down crown for the internal bezel isn't very practical but I probably will not use this for diving. Gran,,that pic on the nato is great! may have made this my next piece.......
