Bearing in mind that this is a worldwide forum, I respectfully suggest that we keep our opinions on all religions and politics out of the forum, as both have caused so much trouble over the years.

after looking the longines support and if you see the numbers 950 4842 engraved in the inside of the caseback i can confirm that it is a top loader. br emso

Hello Bob, Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it! It is hard to believe but I have the movement working! It is running strong even as I write this! The autowinding is shot so there will be no "Matic" in this Eterna...unless I find a donor or something. I have pictures along the entire way, but I'l post them tomorrow. I actually had to Rodico the entire dial and now I have to do the hands as well because of all the oil. I think someone poured 3-in-1 right into the movement in the hopes that it would get the watch to work--I've never seen anything like it. The rust was partially removed by soaking the parts in tea and replacing about three times. The last soak was overnight. Can't wait to post he pictures but there is still work to do. JC
