LONGINES AUTOMATIC

This vintage, 14k., solid gold, 1950's LONGINES AUTOMATIC is a true classic! The substantial, 35mm. across (12.5mm. thick including crystal) 14k. solid, yellow gold case with steel screw retention ring is shimmering and perfect! The case features a ribbed edge, recessed crown and down turned lugs... nice and heavy...lots of gold here... quite valuable on its' own with gold prices as high as they are, but priced the same as if gold were $500 oz! The gold dial with raised markers is textured, adding more visual appeal to this fine LONGINES! The rotor, automatic winding LONGINES movement was just cleaned and overhauled...keeping precise time! We have installed a beautiful, brown, genuine lizard (expensive) band that really sets off the vintage look! This classic and understated solid gold LONGINES looks fantastic ... a great size even for a large wrist from.http://www.watchestobuy.com/newpage4.htm

OMEGA SPEEDMASTER PROFESSIONAL

This OMEGA SPEEDMASTER PROFESSIONAL dates to 1969 and is special! Notice the gold OMEGA crown and gold crystal retention ring. The gold is ideal for the retention ring to avoid expansion and contraction during temperature changes. These watches are mentioned in many OMEGA reference guides and listed as "special". The caliber 861 manual winding movement is shiny and spotless after a recent cleaning and overhaul...and of course all functions operate like silk! The 40x47mm. stainless steel case is pristine. and shimmering! The original dial is extremely nice! This watch is a real fine example of a "special" 1969 OMEGA from.http://www.watchestobuy.com/newpage6.htm
