Re: Longines 13ZN Mushroom Pusher ref. 2191

Hey Jack:

Great watch. I emailed re my issue w my Bund Chrono Hand( I know you love Heuer-older Heuer). Can you help me with the hand? Thanks.

I realized there isn't much articles and coverage on these illusive
: legends. I am not attempting to do one, but perhaps some
: appreciative photo journal on a recent acquisition.

: The best part of the watch is actually the case, no, dial, no,
: pushers (mushroom or umbrella, whatever), eh, actually, there
: isn't any part of the watch that I didn't love. This massive
: beast is powered by the legendary 13zn, one of the best
: chronograph movement ever designed and built.

: There are a total of 4 references for this illusive mushroom pusher
: 13zn; 2191, 2010, 2160 & 2352. There are rumours on 4270
: & 2475, but I have yet to see them. Interestingly mine, ref.
: 2191, seems to be the only piece (correct me if I am wrong) with
: an oversized case back, dwarfing the mid case. Quite an
: interesting feature that most collectors didn't mention.
: Needless to say, the enormous step case bezel is a big love for
: serious collectors.

: The dial is a 2 tone, with the center part either darkening or
: lightening depending on the angle of the light. The 3 colored
: dial is by far my favourite and I am fortunate enough to be the
: custodian of this watch.

: This particular piece is delivered to Argentina in 1939.
: Enough of words, to the photos.
