Sorry, we do not do valuations. This is a repair advice website. I would suggest you take it to a few different watch specialists and get price quotes from them.
Hello there, my condolences. the watch usually has 2 positions 1 for the day/date and the other for the time. you need to set your watch to the 1st position and move the crown forwards or backwards. but in other cases if you have only 1 position for the time then you must spin the time forward twice over to move it up one day. hope this helped you!
You can get a new one from a reputable seller online for about $900....so I would put a market value of approx $700 or so for yours (considering it has traded hands at least once - when your father acquired it). In my opinion unless you get an automatic Tag Heuer watch, which hold up their value much better and cost more too, there is no point in getting theft/damage insurance on this watch.
If you do end up getting a good discounted premium from a reputable insurance company that will not flinch when it comes to paying up, then maybe there is value in buying it.
mcdevito75 here, Many factors figure in the value of a watch, Of course you have a NAME watch Longines which helps a great deal, First, if the hands are thick, the watch is before 1969, if they are thin, anywhere after 1969, Original strap or band conts, a good, good replacement band is ok. the appearance of the watch, no scratches opr buffing, scrapping on the caseing, no scratches or cracks in the crystal (glass) of course being vintage there will be some evidence of age, and lastly time keeping, if your Longines works well keeps time all day, I estmate it"s value, anywhere from $125.00--------- $200.00. You can also check a small watch repair shop in your area or jewelery shop, they will usually give a rough estmate of value for free.
