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?
Got this back from Swiss Time Services today about the 1969 Longines Admiral:
“ My service manager has advised that due to being unable to obtain parts for a Longines watch of this age we would recommend that you contact Longines directly regarding this repair.”
