Panerai Luminor 1950 GMT

Can ANyone Tell Me ABout This Longines ? ........
......ordinarily, I can't afford Lonignes, but this one slipped into my hands for a ridiculous price, cause there's no crown ......and that's what my excellent watch guy Jerry is so very good for ......probably need to get it running too....anyway, I was having trouble with the settings on my camera today, took them in a hurry before they were to the hospital ......and like a dummy I forgot to get a single one of this watch ...so it's from a group shot and blow up way too far ....the dial is pretty good, there are age spots but they;re very small, and evenly scattered around the dial ...you have to either have very good eyes, or use a loupe to even notice them ......that being said ....is the photo good enough to give any info to you Longines experts..??? and when I get it back......I'll take some good photos .....er....I hope anyway

Awful RSC New York Experience
Sorry for the long story I just needed to vent tonight. So... I took my 116710LN GMT into RSC New York to get fixed because an atrocity was done by an independent watch maker (scratched dial due to incorrect hand setting, smudged dial and scratched hands). In hind sight completely my fault. Should have gone to Rolex directly. First I was $500 deep with independent and Rolex... $1,400 for new dial and hands and basic service costs. In late January I drop the watch off at RSC. After waiting what felt like an eternity they ship it to me finally. And after a couple of weeks of wear something didn't feel right I look closer and inspect and there was a weird splotch on the GMT hand. Now the month of May, I drive in the city and they tell me they are sorry they will fix it for free. Now it is July I take the train in to pick it up instead of them ship it. Within 30 seconds of receiving the watch I wipe it down with their branded cleaning clothe and I look at the crystal and there is a smudge
