Ah cheers! Looks like it’s a 1969 ref 8213 if my serial number research is correct. Was a great deal on eBay.
Contacted Longines about a service and they said £400 labour +parts - running 2mins fast over 36hrs just now so think it will need it.
Is there a forum approved better option than sending to the manufacturer for services on a watch like this or is the view that Longines will know what they are doing?

New (to me) watch day. Some nice beginnings of patina on the dial. Going to get a service but will wear for a little bit to see how it is running.
