Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph
Longines started manufacturing timing equipment in 1878 with the launch of a simple 20 ligne column-wheel chronograph, reference number 20H. Over the years, many other Longines chronograph calibers have incorporated a column-wheel mechanism. The new Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph continues this horological heritage into the 21st century. This Longines houses a new caliber developed by ETA for Longines and other brands within the Swatch Group. Fitted with 27 jewels, the L.688.2 movement is a self-winding caliber with a diameter of 30 mm and a height of 7.90 mm. The blued steel column wheel controls the chronograph functions (start, stop, return to zero). The new movement is housed in a classic case from the Heritage collection. The 40mm stainless steel case offers a transparent case back.

8500 movement service
The 8500 movement has been out several years now. Has anyone had the movement fail or otherwise needed to send it back for service? Just wondering what the service interval might be.

16710 P Serial Number Rolex Logo Dial HELP
Greetings, I am relatively new to the forum but found the feedback from my first post quite helpful.Last week I did a trade plus cash deal for a new to me, P Serial Number 16710 (no box or papers). The seller is a licensed Jeweler who has been in the secondary watch market for over 30 years and he has a physical location in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I have known him about ten years and sold him several Rolex as well as he purchases (and pays the best in town) for scrap gold and silver. I trust him, but we can all get fooled...with that said, while looking at my new watch under a strong loupe, I found three items that are giving me mild heart palpitations (please see photos):1.
