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?

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
