I've had a Longines 5 Star Admiral Automatic circa 1970ish for a few years. I got it as a gift from a client. It's solid 18k gold with a silver face and looks kind of like this one:
I like the silver face on mine better than this gold face... but anyway. To the question.
I sent it away to the Longines factory in Switzerland for a refurb and although I didn't expect the job to be cheap, the $1600 estimate kind of blew me away. I know these watches aren't too cheap but I have no idea if it's worth the money to rebuild. It's the full rebuild service they do over there and it's amazing. But is it worth it?
