Boxed 1975 LONGINES (Swiss) Ref. 1039.1.864 Steel Dress Watch – 17j Longines Cal. 6922

A stunning 1975 silver dial dress watch with small hands at 6h, this is a rather large timepiece for its age,  with model reference 1039.1.864, that has been professionally serviced by Localtime. The 35mm (37mm counting the logoed crown at 3h) steel case with long lugs (41.25mm L2L) is classy and wonderful on the wrist with its slim 9.50mm thickness. The serial number 52,256,820 on the movement, places the watch release in 1975. The plexi glass has been replaced with a new one and is brand new. It is carrying a manual-wind 17j Longines Cal. 6922 movement and is wearing one of our ‘buffalo’ premium leather straps from Rochet (France) in black that matches the watch nicely. These lovely straps are also listed separately in the store. The watch comes in its original box which is in a very nice and clean condition, with strong hinges. As with all the watches we handle inhouse, the listed price includes a 3-month written warranty from the time of purchase. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information you might need.

Important Note: Sometimes I am asked what I exactly mean with ‘professionally inspected by Localtime’. Here is my theory on vintage watches: as a purveyor of vintage watches, my effort is to always do only what is needed to the watch. I do not buy ‘junk’ watches to resell. I am choosy with my purchases and always sell watches that are, to my knowledge, authentic and in good condition. I first inspect the watch, both visually (cosmetically) and then mechanically. If I judge that the watch is not yet in need of a full service then I do not put the watch through a service which, by the way, entails a lot of risks too. Instead, I give it what I call my ‘Spa’ treatment which will include a cleaning, changing of gaskets, oiling, lubricating and mechanical testing. If the plexi is heavily scratched or discoloured and it can not be cleaned, I change it. If the crown is wrong or worn, I also change it. Now, if the watch is in need of a full service, then my ‘professionally inspected’ description becomes ‘professionally serviced’. In both cases, I mention what has been changed (if anything) on the watch and I include a written warranty with my listed price.

Important Note On Straps/Bracelets: The straps I use on my watches (leather, canvas, suede, rubber) are always brand new, unless otherwise mentioned and, in most cases, I also sell them separately in my store, in different colours and sizes. In the case of metal bracelets, if the watch is NOS, the bracelet is also unused. If the watch is pre-owned with its original bracelet, then the bracelet is also pre-owned, unless otherwise mentioned. Either way, if in doubt, please ask.
