manual wind with seconds wheel, no box/papers/history I guess? possibly 40's to late 50's without the wings logo (the Longines website may tell you when they adpoted it, i think it was late 50's but may not have been a feature on all their watches until later), probably worth £100-150 if you can find someone to whom it is meaningful/ worth restoring, either as part of a collection or as a birth watch. Go find an independent who can take the back off, there may be date and/ or service marks in the caseback itself. vaguely similar head here has been for sale for a v long time http://www.chrono24.com/en/longines/30l--id2039256...This dealer is exceptionally optimistic given the condition, it too has been on there a v long time, it would have to mean a lot to someone to part with 500 bucks for it http://www.chrono24.com/en/longines/mens-manual-17...

Thankyou very much. It's my mums partners, it was his dads and thinks he would have had it when he was a boy which would date it late 18th early 19th. I thought that was a bit old!

As we are in the 21st Century now i think 300 years for someone who was boy potentially three hundred years ago is a bit hopeful
