Found vintage Longines at a yard sale today

I do not know much about it other than it's an automatic 17 jewel. Keeping great time. Says 14K gold fill on case. Have no idea what year it was made.

What's strange is that it has engraved on the back "Love Beth 12-25-78" If it's a 50s watch why would the engraving be so much later?

By the style and emblem I would say late 1950's

Heres a tip. Go to longines webpage and request information ( http://www.longines.com/contact/contact-form )

 

Request information about your piece. Open the back and send some photos. They do not value the piece, but they will give you as much information as possible to help aid you in giving your watch its value.

 

Good luck!
