this may be the watch that is from 1910. Im not sure. my grandfather said one of the three watches he gave me that one of them was his fathers and his father bought it in 1910. then gave it to my grandfather when he was 15. all I can see on it is maybe it says Longines any info on this would be appreciated. thank you all!

Patty This is a VERY fine watch and it's beautiful, but the styling make me think 1930's- 1940's. I'd love to know the movements serial #'s but I can give you a link that shows one very similar. It's a 1938 model . the casing is a little different but it has the same markers and dial. Sorry couldn't be more presise but with out watch in hand it's really hard to be definative. This site also will show you excate date if you get the serial # off of the inner movement
