Homage Forum

Yesterday I received the following parts from a Longines L2.640.4.78.3 Master Collection Small Seconds watch.

The case was most likely damaged, which is why only this set was available for sale.

Movement: I was relieved that only the winding stem was broken. I replaced it, regulated the movement, and now it runs perfectly.

-Hands: The minute hand was missing. Until the original hands arrive, I've installed a different set.

-Dial: It had to be reduced by 3 mm in diameter.








Thank for watching.

I'd rock that all day
Lovely build

Thanks a lot.

Amazing find!
first time I see a Longines 6498.
Congrats for this perfect build.

Thanks
Longines call it L512.x
There are variations of it and they also have 6497.

The entire build cost me only a tenth of the boutique price when someone paid for it at launch.

nice texture on the dial. movement finishing is not usual too. cannot see clear the engravings. are they stamped or engraved? nice build!

Great build and the movement is so clean. I bet never touched before!!
