Sorry for the bad picture, but can anyone tell me about this watch? It was given to my grandfather as a retirement gift about 20 years ago. Any idea what it's worth, or anything? I can't find the exact model

Serial number? Model number? Give us a photo of the back?

Take it to a watchmaker and have them open it up and look at the movement; that's the only way you'll be sure about when it's from (and what it's worth).
That being said, based on what I know about old Longines, that's probably not worth more than a few hundred bucks unless it's made of gold.

Is it automatic, mechanical or quartz movement?

Unless it has melt value its not worth much, Since its quartz Im almost certain its a japanese movement which is very common.

That's a reasonably nice watch. New Longines range from about $1000 to $10,000, so they aren't exactly cheap. All the Longines watches of similar vintage I can find are anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, so that's a good place to start. Take it to a professional watch sales/repair store and they will tell you more.
