Vintage Longines Watch Identifier

[Christian85]

Hello all, I have recently received a Longines watch that was owned by my late grandfather, the only details I have of the watch are he purchased it in the late 50's early 60's, my Nan says it's 18kt Gold, there's nothing on the back of the watch, just plain Gold, the strap is gold and doesn't seem like it can come off, It's manual winding and that's about it. I'm trying to find what model it is as I would like to find out the history on the watch and how many units were made etc. This watch will be going nowhere and it will be passed down through the generations to come.

If there's no success here I will try and find a decent jewellers to go to and see if they can help but seeing as there are some collectors on here I thought I'd ask before I go out into the cold!

I've already searched on http://www.vintagewatchresources.com/ nut to no avail.

Thanks in advance, Christian.

P.S The small writing by the 6 just says "swiss made"

Can't help you with the model, but if you can get the case back off and see a serial number this site will help you date the watch.

Does anyone know of any good watch shops to go to in London to take this to?
