No vintage B for the Gallery today, but some of you might enjoy this ? You might have noticed that I do like some of the bold 1970s designs quite a bit, so the Longines 8229 has been on my radar for a very long time - quite rare, especially the orange bezel version. Great design, an iconic movement & I just love that ratcheting bezel.

+1, that's terrific. I've never seen a Longines anything like that. |

thank you ! but could you please edit to remove the full quote including the picture links  - this makes threads, especially galleries VERY hard to read ? |

Gorgeous watch! Looks like a nice dome crystal on it? Any side view Fred? Really great pics as always! And if you take these pics with the iphone also, maybe you can do a detailed tutorial (like how to avoid reflection of the hand holding the phone on the watch crystal) & the mods can make it a sticky in this forum?

I love the "dial work" of vintage 70's timepieces, and the use of bold colors..ie, Monti Carlo dials of the Tudor Heritage chrono. |
