An evaluation please
Discussion
Whats the model number?
How old is it?
Whats the material?
How much did you pay?
Do you have all the original reciepts confirming authenticity (not accusing at all, but very important in any second hand watch evaluation)
etc etc etc
Without those answers I would think it's pretty hard to give an accurate value.
At a guess it looks to be a gents Heritage so a current available model with a retail of about £2600/2700.
Wouldn't put the price above this for a second hand one, hardly worn or not.
Edited to add...
I've done a little image search trying to pin down that watch and have drawn a blank. All the Longines that nearly match that spec are in the Heritage range, but the Heritage range have different markings on the face (they ALL have "Automatic" halfway between the face center and 6o-clock marking) and a slightly different case design. Also, all the current Longines watches have a proper 3D badge for the Longines wings and not a printed one as your picture shows. Swiss made is also in a different font and different position these days.
Of course, all the above could be just put down to more modern touches on the current range, but I cannot find a single watch that matches that picture perfectly on the Longines website. What model number is that? I'm confused?

I think you added a zero there, CP.
No, the Gold case Longines watches in the Heritage range are pretty pricey... www.yatego.com/luxusuhren/longines/33-19-41,3,,1,1,q,longines,heritage
(Above link is just an example)
I just can't find the one pictured

Try something like:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-LONGINES-LG
£700 odd in goldsmiths, if it's 18K, but from around 300 if plated.

I was giving the benefit and looking at RRP, but I think your valuation is much better than mine

Thanks Civ
for your useful info and all the other posts too.
Don't know cost, was a gift about 5 years ago
It is still in it's original box which contains a Longines booklet and a credit type card which has written on it Model/ref no. 33001.08
Duuno if this means anything but on the underside of the watch strap is embossed "Cuir Veritable" and a number 18 and a star
Well "Cuir Veritable" just means "Genuine Leather"
As for the model ref, thats confused me even more. Longines model numbers are in a totally different format. For example the Heratige that looks most like the watch you pictured has the model number L2.637.6.11.2 and to select any watch randomly from their range you end up with a modle number/ref in the same format (i.e. L2.XXX.X.XX.X ).
So I'm thinking the owners manual will have a different number in it somewhere matching the above format (Maybe on the credit card? ).
If you can't find the number matching the format anywhere I would suggest using a proper Longines dealer to help you value the watch correctly. I cant find any Longines watch with a model/ref number matching the one you give.
