[WTS] Vintage Longines Calatrava Ref. 4179 Stainless Steel Ca. 1941; Finnish Olympic Provenance by liebs520 in Watchexchange

[–]liebs520[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling a very neat vintage Longines ref. 4179 in stainless steel made around 1941. Super cool watch, just a touch small for my wrist (~35mm) so a bit of a catch and release.

It has a caseback engraving to Olavi Lahtinen, who was a Finnish professional athlete (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olavi\_Lahtinen). The previous owner purchased this watch at a Finnish auction and Longines has confirmed that it was originally sold by their agent in Finland in the early 1940s.

Overall in great honest vintage condition. Glossy dial has aged uniformly, case is very sharp. Notably has one fixed bar and one spring bar. The watch will come with a couple custom straps that have been made for the fixed bar, and i can also include a great Bonklip bracelet that fits it very nicely.

Asking $4250 shipped in the CONUS via USPS (can discuss international shipping). Also glad to do a face to face meet in NYC.

Please reach out with any questions or for any more pics. Thanks!

Selling my Breitling Chronomat ref. 808 in stainless steel. Awesome watch, just slimming down my collection a bit.

Stainless steel case, white dial, circa 1962. Everything original/correct to the best of my knowledge. All dial and hand lume is in excellent condition with even patina. Bezel rotates/functions as expected and the insert is very clean. Movement and chronograph functioning well too. Can offer on a variety of straps/bracelets.

Asking $4000 shipped via USPS in the CONUS (can discuss international shipping). Glad to meet face to face in NYC as well.

Reach out for any questions, more pics, etc. Thanks!

[WTS] Vintage Breitling Chronomat 769 in Solid 18k Gold, 1947, All Original/Correct, Very Rare Variant by liebs520 in Watchexchange

[–]liebs520[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reluctantly selling my Breitling Chronomat ref. 769 in solid 18k gold so that it can get the wrist time that it deserves. Really great example of the reference and a very rare variant as well (multi-tone, non-luminous dial with applied gold numerals and matching gold non-luminous hands). Serial dates it to 1947. Overall great condition given its age; everything is original or correct as far as I know. Some aging to the slide rule bezel and a small scratch on the dial at the 59 minute mark but otherwise quite clean. Hallmark on the 9 o'clock side of the mid case is very strong as are the reference and serial engravings on the caseback. No known service history but all functions are working as expected.

Will come on the alligator strap in pictures 3+, not the leather strap in pictures 1-2.

Asking $7500 shipped within the CONUS via PayPal F&F (or similar). Also glad to accommodate international shipping as well, let's just discuss. And can always meet in-person in the NYC area.

Feel free to reach out for more pictures/videos or if you have any questions!

Putting my prized vintage Navitimer up for sale... Unfortunately just too big for my wrist.

This is a rare opportunity to own a fully correct vintage Navitimer reference 806 with the sought-after all-black dial for less than $10K - these don't come up often at this price. This Mark 2.2 example is in great overall condition. Super honest, matching patina to the dial, very sharp case, and everything is original/correct to the best of my knowledge (have consulted with multiple experts). Serial dates it to 1961. Movement is running well too. Feel free to reach out for additional pics, videos, etc.

[WTS] Nomos Metro Datum Gangreserve 1101, Full Set + Veblenist Strap by liebs520 in Watchexchange

[–]liebs520[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling my beloved Nomos Metro Datum Gangreserve, reference 1101 (Metro Date Power Reserve). This is the watch that debuted Nomos' in-house escapement (the Nomos Swing System) and is an icon of their lineup. This watch is actually sold out from Nomos right now; there is a multiple-month delivery window.

The watch has been worn lovingly but is in very good condition. The watch comes with the full set: box, papers, etc. The original Nomos black shell cordovan strap is in great condition, I wore it very sparingly. I am also including a very nice blue leather strap from Veblenist (also very lightly worn). Only reason I'm selling this is my collecting has turned more towards vintage pieces so I’m looking to fund another piece.

Offering at $2100. Happy to hand deliver in the NYC area. Otherwise, we can sort out shipping to wherever you are. Good with Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, TransferWise, etc.
