The final watch in my vintage parade is this 18ct gold Longines from 1966, signed for the “posh” jeweller where I grew up.

Re: Non CW of the Day
I have been looking at this exact watch on and off for months. What are your thoughts Alex? How do you find the size?
Cheers now, Paul

Re: Non CW of the Day
Honestly? Have it for 24hrs now and I love it! The textured dial is really cool and pops in contrast light. Size is spot on, 36mm 9-3 radius, 33 mm 12-6 radius, 41 mm lug to lug. Feels like a leather bracelet on the wrist.
My wrist is 16 cm in circumference (16.2 on a really good day) but flat, this thing wears like a charm. But I also own & wear watches like the 44mm Luminor that I can pull off, Submariner 41, etc, all work without any issues. Initially, this one seemed small like a button but it is actually a neat size and wears just right.
It is a keeper for me, also I got it unused with warranty card stamped Dec '23 for 50% off the MSRP, so excellent value comparing to the regular Khaki line.
Two minuses: lume is barely visible on the plots, somewhat visible on the hands, and the lug width is 18mm (this is a problem for me as I have 0 18mm straps at the moment but a bunch of 20, 21 & 22s). I can live with those.

Re: Non CW of the Day
@gwells hi, that is a stunning watch. I haven't seen one before, any further info? And are they still available? I had a quick search but didn't find anything.
Thanks
Pat

Meeting some old friends for beers later. Better wear something tough in case we have any alcohol induced gravity related incidents.

Re: Non CW of the Day
don't think they're still available new. it's called the helson blackbeard and it came in a few variations (this was the nicest one, imnsvho).
you can keep an eye on watchrecon for them. doesn't look like any are available right now and only the white bezel/white dial show up in recent sales.
