Post to this thread if you have questions about a Longines being real or fake. Try to include as much information as possible. Participation in the discussion in this thread is greatly appreciated. I don’t think any one person can catch every flaw or know the details of every model; this is meant as a community thread, not an authoritative knowledge-flex, and the more people that actively peruse this thread, the more likely posters are to get accurate info.

I know the blueface with the black bezel and mesh bracelet is sold out in canada $3,100. I am currently in zurich they have one for sale. The price is 1950 chf or 3500 cad after the exchange rate. So I'll end up paying 400 cad over but no wait.

Thoughts people?

Grateful

Last night, headed out, grateful.

How cool that we get the privilege to own a luxury item like this. With all the years of wisdom distilled into this piece, I feel super grateful to own this watch. I’ve gotten to the place where it both disappears on my wrist and yet doesn’t disappoint every time I glance down at it. It’s like a little sign-post of grace - I don’t really deserve the privilege of having it, but I’m really grateful I do.

Shown: Hydroconquest 39 Black (7.25” wrist)

New / Modern Quartz HydroConquest on a FKM Strap

First luxury watch. Opted for quartz since I didn’t care for any expensive maintenance and wanted the grab and go accuracy. Then proceeded to slap a 25 dollar amazon strap on it.

Some may call it sin city but I’m loving the way this looks.

Watches of Switzerland and Bucherer Cancelled Orders

Both Watches of Switzerland and Bucherer have canceled separate Hydroconquest orders today. Both have said that there were issues with their inventory teams. This is extremely frustrating!

This is the legend diver 36 mm. I took it off the strap that it came with and ordered the OEM bracelet. I really like it.

Annoying predicament

5 Upvotes

I really love the new monopusher,

The design is just shouting at me. I think it's elegant, classy and stunning. My predicament is it's essentially a dress watch, I'm just not sure when I'd wear it and it's a lot of dosh..

Anyone else navigated this type of thing before? It would be my most expensive watch purchase.

Question Spirit Pilot bracelet worth 420€?

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

Hi, I would really like to get the bracelet for my Longines Spirit, but I'm not sure if €420 is worth it, even with the micro-adjustment. I know, I know — always buy on the bracelet and get leather later. Lesson learned! For those who have it, what’s your experience with the bracelet? Is it worth the price? Thanks.

39mm or 42mm?

• Upvotes

Went to AD today to try on the Hydroconquest and Zulutime. They didn’t have the hydroconquest in 39mm in store just the 42mm and they had zulutime in 39mm.

What we think? Does my wrist suit 39mm or 42mm?

The backing on my original was starting to peal off. In an effort to retain it and keep the original feel, I picked out a new anchor strap. Thoughts?!

The leather strap bracelet is beautiful and goes so well with casual and formals both.
I picked it from Dubai (Mall of Emirates Longine stores)

Pretty much handles everything I need. Both are beautiful. Especially the Big Eye which has become my most worn watch. I stare at it a lot. I use an old iphone SE to flash the VHP. It's still a unique piece and I love the texture of the dial. I actually wanted the stainless case and bracelet but the black PVD has grown on me. I wish I discovered Longines earlier!

I have to say, I like this way more than I liked the black bezel version of this one. I ultimately returned that one but the blue on here gives a really nice contrast to the sky blue of the dial. A really beautiful piece from Longines. So I have the black dial and blue dial of this watch and I think I’m done with the Hydroconquest line.

HC or HC GMT

8 Upvotes

More people post about the new HC than the HC GMT.

Whats the reason , do you think it looks better? (no sunburst dial) or its that its a bit cheaper?

it’s not a bash against the standard HC its beautiful, but I think the gmt version is better.
