Horological Meandering

2 big assets: The enamel dial, amazingly deep and " rich ", and the case / bezel. The blue hands are complimenting the Watch in a very nice way, and bring this appreciable touch of life. As every 13 ZNs, the movement is superb. One of the nicest in the vi...  

... what a beauty my dear Nicolas! I know it would be nicer with longer lugs, but it would make me very happy just "as is"!! Lol! Thanks for sharing my friend, and have a great week end! Afectuosamente, Abel.

... your wife surely got a very good taste! I love this watch too! the dial, the indexes, the movement! Eye Candy!! It is my pleasure to read your posts my friend!

This watch!!...It has everything, Enamel Dial, Blue hands, a heavy steel case, a 13ZN Caliber... exquisite!! and...Is Flyback? All the best Juan

Looks to be in lovely condition too. You know me and enamel dials... Top watch and that caliber is superb. Cheers, Tim

and it would be perfect. That calibre also looks the business. A great watch for the other half. :) Thanks for sharing. Best fernando

Merci Nicolas, wow! Cheers Francois

In your collection, my dear friend... ;) Best, Nicolas

I have been bitten by that sacre bleu de bug......from Vlad;) see..how could I not love Vladimir:) Cheers my friend Francois

The enamel dial, case design, movement and blued hands won me over. Agree it is a tad small although for someone with my small wrist it is ok I think. Any modern homage versions from Longines, Nico? Thanks for the post! Cheers Robin

And I fear it will be the only one... Thanks for looking, my friend. Nicolas

You find the best stuff! Felicitations!

A little too small for an ideal chrono so a bit of a waste..

.. great find, mon ami! Ken

The perfect combination. I understand your wish to be 2-3 mm larger but sometimes you need to compromise... I like it a lot. Regards, Constantin

So, I pass on anything else I see, till I find mine... It can take time, but perseverance is always rewarding! ;) Best, Nicolas.

The case perfectly matches the size of the movement. The dial is clear and uncrowded and perfectly legible at this size. What's wrong with people, are they afraid their manhood would be suspect? I would never pass on such a beautiful watch simply because ... 

But you know, I am a bit curious guy when it comes to 13 ZNs... I am in the hunt for a certain 37 / 38 mm case, big pushers ( mushroom even better )... And the lugs are not my taste on this one. When I think 13 ZN, this is not this one which comes to my m... 

Thank you for sharing but 36 mm is where I draw a line :) Cheers D

Sorry to be a party spoiler but I 'd be much more reserved about the autenticity of the dial. Difficult to say from your picture tough. There is a certain lack of lustre generally and lack of depth of the sub-counters. Original transitional 13ZN with orig... 

Prudence is a platinum rule. Best, Ztirual. Nicolas.

.. with the short lugs and overall size won't go away.. The other thing, which I would have to get used to, are these specific "classic" fonts on the dial, almost like Calligraphy. - for me almost a bit too much " Retro".. The enamel, and the " deux compt... 

Gorgeous all the way around, Nicolas. Best, CaliforniaJed

Therefore, when it comes to 13 ZN, it is possible to find them with a bigger case. The size is generally not a problem for me, as I own many watches which are between 33 to 37 mm, but when there is a bigger choice, with some nice dials, well, you know... ... 

but have to wonder - is that dial original? I feel like I see so many re-done vintage Longines chrono enamel dials that it's hard to know which are real and which have issues. This one looks right to me, but what do I know? Thanks for posting. Darren

Since it is not my Watch it is a bit difficult to ask its owner to do so... Best, Nicolas.

Longines is launching so many re-editions, so this one, but also with an enamel dial, would indeed be gorgeous! Oh, I forgot: and a date-window is a must!!!!! Marcus

13 ZN is as beautiful as Venus movement. Plus enamel dial, what can I say? In this case, small size does not really matter. Regards Ling

.. the "sqeeze out", for the underestimed beauty, the Ref etc from JLC Actually, derived from pics, it appears to have a fine-looking appeal on the wrist !.. Best, still too undetermined, hs Best to all, hs
