That's a great looking watch, seem to be really good value too. Nice.
I have no real complaints at all really. A uniquely vintage styled diver with all the features needed in a dive watch that isn't massive. I like the GMT bezel though as it suits my needs more than a 60 minute bezel.vixen1700 said:

Not mine, but my father's Longines I was wearing over the weekend:
Really is a fantastic thing. The rrp is £1,820 iirc and he bought it for £1,500 from a high street jeweler. Lightweight with a very comfortable folding clasp strap. Can't go wrong for the money
Two very very nice watches there and not crazy prices either.Really is a fantastic thing. The rrp is £1,820 iirc and he bought it for £1,500 from a high street jeweler. Lightweight with a very comfortable folding clasp strap. Can't go wrong for the money
Longines seem to be going from strength to strength recently - they have brought out some very tempting watches in their Heritage and Sprit collections over the past couple of years

I nearly sold mine 3 years ago, I’m glad I didn’t.They are deceptively heavy, such a solid, dense thing and “only” 40mm
I'll get one eventually, it will fit in right with the collection.

It’s quite cool that they came in and out of production so quickly, people think the Batman wasn’t around long, but these really weren’t.
And funny you say that, I think this watch inspired me to buy an alu bezel ND Sub, which I think is my favourite watch.

I adore the modern sports oyster strap, what a piece of engineering/jewellery/production. But then you look at the front of the watch, so I'll take the alu bezel over the better bracelet every time.

And the bracelets can sound ridiculous and can feel unnervingly light but it’s not like they are actually fragile in my experience.

Definitely! The swatch group seems to be shunting them upwards to replace the niche Omega used to occupy, as they attempt to position Omega on the same level as Rolex (as far as the customer is concerned, I mean)Longines seem to be going from strength to strength recently - they have brought out some very tempting watches in their Heritage and Sprit collections over the past couple of years
Lovely things.
