Vintage Complete Set Longines-Wittnauer Dress Watch w/Midsize Case,Signed Crown

Description: ***********Given that the crown can be a bit of a challenge to pull out to set the time and considering the movement's unknown service history a completed overhaul is likely long overdue and recommended. Additionally, this is a midsize watch, measuring approximately 29 mm excluding the crown, approximately 31 mm including the crown and approximately 19 mm between the lugs.*********** This seldom seen complete set vintage Longines-Wittnauer Geneve dress watch came from the estate of its original owner, having sat unused for the past 30 plus years. The satin silver "SWISS" only signed dial is in pristine condition, free of any visibly noticeable scratching, tool marks, chipping or defects. This particular reference never came with lume. The midsize all stainless steel case shows honest wear with no signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "USE ALL PROOF 1100 WRENCH." The crystal shows scratching. While I normally show pictures of the movements of watches that I put up for sale I'm unable to remove the case back on this one. After recently winding the original "W" signed non-screwdown crown 35 full revolutions the manual wind movement had a solid power reserve of approximately 37 hours. Although the crown winds smoothly it's finicky in wanting to pull out to set the time. With a little patience and practice it tends to pull out without issue. Given this and considering the movement's unknown service history a complete overhaul is likely long overdue and recommended. This watch measures approximately 29 mm excluding the crown, approximately 31 mm including the crown and approximately 19 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the mid-case, is approximately 5 mm. Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 7.5 mm. This watch comes on what I believe to be its original "Spiedel U.S.A." stamped stretch band. The original ephemera includes the inner/outer boxes, guarantee and instruction booklet and the uncompleted guarantee registration form, all showing some degree of wear. Given the vintage nature of this watch, that the crown can be difficult to pull out to set the time and considering the movement's unknown service history a complete overhaul is recommended. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility. Please thoroughly read this entire listing and kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given. And please study the 12 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch. Expedited and insured shipping along with signature confirmation will be provided. Thanks for looking! ***********Given that the crown can be a bit of a challenge to pull out to set the time and considering the movement's unknown service history a completed overhaul is likely long overdue and recommended.
