Does anyone recognize this large 1930's Longines. There are no military markings. The lugs are fixed. The former owner was Polish. Polish Military? Dah! | ||

It isn't anything I recognize, it looks like a converted pocket watch. | ||

I do not believe that the watch is a made up watch conversion. This is a 100% bone fide Longines. The movement is a cal 17.26. Eastern European military watches are often huge. I also have a huge Moser silver trench watch with swing lugs that I bought in Warsaw. I forgot to mention that the case is chrome and the numerans and hands are radium.With the fixed lug pins I don't think that it is just a black dialed civilian watch? | ||

Let me put it to you this way: How will you ever know this is an issued military watch? | ||
