Longines - Master Collection - Heritage Retrograde

[rampz]

hi all,

After some help, I have approx 2K to spend on a watch and I am after a smart looking watch.
This has really caught my eye: http://www.longines.com/watches/heritage-collectio...

What do you guys think of Longines as a watch manufacturer and also any experiences\opinions of this particular watch?

Please help.

The brand for those in the know...

thanks, please explain further! I know they have a long history and are probably less 'commercial' than say the like likes of Tag.
Due to my budget, this one stands out above anything else i have seen in this price range (this one is £2400) - any other suggestions of something comparible?
What abount movements etc, cant seem to find much info.

thanks, but why send me to a site selling replica's?

[retrorider]

You requested information and not a site to purchase from.

ok fair enough,

Thanks

I recently bought the base model Conquest in the Heritage range. I wanted a dress watch in that price range and liked the style of it. Longines are now part of the Swatch group, same as Omega.

I'm impressed with it overall, however it's a loud ticker compared to my ORIS. Also mine has a hesalite crystal which I have to be careful with.

Have you tried it on yet?

Thanks, the being a little loud doesnt bother me much. I did try it on briefly at Goldsmiths and liked it. It is a little thick for a dress watch, however i actually liked that.
I am not in a rush to buy, and this one is definately on the shortlist, actually the only one on the shortlist, which is why I posted on here to see if there are any other recommendations at this price and to also find out peoples opinions on Longines.
