Longines flagship doubt

Vintage Horlogeforum

Hi guys,

I’ve recently seen a beautiful Longines flagship for sale that I’d love to add to the collection. It’s also in great condition in its original box, so it would be amazing to have it.

However, I’ve noticed that the flagship logo is usually under the hands, but in this case it sits on top of them (see pic).

How is this possible? Longines recently launched a new line of flagship watches inspired in the old ones that have the logo on top, but every single original one I see has it on the bottom.

Help!!

maybe because of the small seconds dial there is no room for the logo.

If you can’t find any similar example online, that’s a red flag. Then probably the watch is a franken or a bad redial.

That’s a redial for sure :grimacing:

I am sure because the dial is heavily sanded. The subdial almost disappeared, especially at the lower edge :grimacing:

It’s hard to really see it properly, but it looks like the word ‘Flagship’ is not centered properly. It looks like it is shifted a bit to the right, compared to the Longines logo.
