These watches belonged to my mother and father, both now passed on. Pardon the poor quality of the image, my digital camera is old. There appear to be small diamonds at 3, 6, 9, 12 o'clock. I found these while cleaning out a desk. I don't know when they were made, but they remind me of my parents in 1960, dressed up and ready to go out.

Hello Vianvi, Thank you. I'm not sure. I should probably take them to a jeweler, or someone who knows about Longines.
If these watches are gold, it should be marked inside the case and also on the clasp of the bands. Best to take them to a jeweler who can pop open the back and pull out the works. The inside of the back cover will be marked for gold or metal content.
