    Longines WWW

    This was dug up in a field in Wales last year by a guy with a metal detector. It looked like it had been buried there for decades, probably ripped off a soldier's wrist during manoevures. It was restored by the great John Senior. Back story here: http://www.mwrforum.net/forums/showt...ht=freshly+dug

    and on my wrist today

    Beautiful watch and an extraordinary restoration. What a shame John isn't taking on customer work any more.

    Thanks for posting, you must be thrilled with it.

    What a find and a great story/ restoration.

    Where does one get a strap like that?

    It's a period pigskin strap & was supplied by the seller. It suits the watch rather well
