Introducing: The Longines Railroad
The Longines Heritage collection is a veritable treasure trove of wonderful (and, usually, eminently affordable) watches based on Longine's historical production, and for 2016 the family has a new member. Say hello to the Longines Railroad, a watch based on "railroad grade" watches made for the rail service in the 1960s. 1 OF 4 Above, you can see the original Longines railroad pocket watch from the 1960s. The number 280 on the dial refers to the Longines hand-wound caliber 280, an in-house, high grade movement suitable for the demands of usage in the rail service. The term "railroad grade" refers to watches approved for use by train crews and while most of us are used to seeing the term applied to rail service watches pocket watches from brands like Elgin, Waltham, Howard, and yes, Longines (which made railroad service watches including the USA, Canada, and China among others) in fact wristwatches could be approved by time inspection bureaus as well.

70's Breitling Chrono
Hey Guys...I normally spend time in the Rolex section, but I got drawn over here today on a thread about the Emergency...So I thought I would post some info about my 70's Chrono...My Mom gave this one to my Dad around 1975. He was flying a lot, so she wanted to get him a nice watch for timing his check-points (way before the day of GPS ) He was also a farmer, so he abused the watch daily, but it mechanically held up incredibly well...I started flying in 1986, so he passed in on to me...soon thereafter, I almost destroyed it in a motorcycle crash, when I was hit by a car and slid 90ft down the paved highway (I didn't measure it out, the Kentucky State Trooper did). Fortunately the case stayed off the pavement but a hole was eaten completely through the crystal during the slide. I had the crystal replaced and wore the watch daily for about 10 years. While I was living in Birmingham, Alabama, I met a serious watch tinkerer (bought a Red Sub from him) and he offered to restore it for me -

A little help please.
Hi everyone. Time for a new Pam and I'm having trouble deciding. 42mm is the size for me and I already had a 392. I like both the 523 and 535. Really like the steap and the dial on the 535 but GMT feature is not a big deal for me. I like the thought of a white dial on the 523 because all my other watches are black dials. Straps dont really matter because I can always change those up. Thoughts?

How to reassemble a glidelock?
This is an inauspicious start to forum life. Hello, I've disassembled the glidelock on my 114060 as I'm a serial tinkerer and I can't for the life of me find how to put it back together. Two little plastic runners came off the glidelock's spring bar at a rapid rate of knots and don't fancy helping me out, any help from you kind, seasoned, eye rolling people?
