Can't see the pic le bro ;)
If i remember correctly, it's the 4 retrograde (jumping second / power reserve) right? Yes, the movement L698 is ETA made special for Longinese. Not sure how good it is (not because it is ETA) because I heard jumping second can be very sensitive to sock and technically it's not easy produce and maintain... that's what i heard when i'm about to bought the Gerald Genta Jumping hour and minute retro (not buying at the end la)... a famous GG has not produce any jumping second (correct me if they are) and I'm not sure why (why not?)... I'm impress Longinse did :)
I hold and try this Longinese before, 44mm (or 42mm) case and it's thick, comfortable when I strap on my wrist... if you can get the price after discount close or near to 10K, I think it's worth ;) Another brand to consider maybe ML Retrograde...I'm not familiar with ML but i'm sure you can see a lot retrograde in their range if you hunt around ;)
Good luck!
