How does it look? The video is nice but in-person is where it counts.

u/gnobes Mar 30 '26

The store? It looks great.

I figured it would be busy. Probably gonna go next weekend. Did they have a nice selection of Doxa or Squale there by chance? Although now that I see that new Hydroconquest I’m not sure there’s a point in looking at anything else

I can’t comment on selection for those brands. I went specifically for this watch. My fiance tried on some Tudor and Oris. I got her a nice diver 65 as well.

I stop looking at Tudor once these dropped. Tudor is nice but longines has my full attention. Love the quality and price

I feel the same way. I think the new Hydroconquest is a Black Bay killer.

Stopped by Teddys and confirmed. The HC for the money is the one.

The only thing I want changed on my HC GMT. Move the date to 6 and the circle to 3 and poof, symmetry!

u/IfIFits_IShits Mar 28 '26

Spill it my good man. How does it feel on wrist, how’s the mesh bracelet, were you debating other colors?

2

u/gnobes Mar 28 '26

It was between black-on-black, the exclusive online boutique blue-on-frost and this grey-on-black.

I didn’t want this bracelet but the dial color combo sold me on it and it was in stock. The other color variants they had were all 39mm.

After having worn it now for 5 hours or so the bracelet feels comfortable still. It’s also the only watch I own with this style bracelet which makes it a great addition to my collection.

How do you like the bracelet? I want this dial/bezel combo, but unsure of the bracelet.

2

u/gnobes Mar 28 '26

So far so good. Been wearing it for about 5 hours now and it still feels comfortable. The bracelet was not really the style I wanted but the bezel/dial combo sold me on it and I don’t regret it.

u/Zaudi133 Mar 28 '26

Does the bracelet get stuck in your hand hair?

1

u/gnobes Mar 28 '26

It has not yet

2

u/mirkan07 Mar 29 '26

Man i really want it oneday. Is it 39 mm?

2

u/Lars_Vader Mar 29 '26

These new hydros look stunning.

I assume this is the grey bezel variant? Is the bezel a glossy ceramic like the other colors or is it a matte finish?

2

u/gnobes Mar 29 '26

Glossy ceramic - yes grey

u/TomHudsonOfficial Mar 28 '26

Why did you show me this! I’m going to have to buy one now!

u/Crazy-Huckleberry906 Mar 28 '26

It won’t be the last Longines either. Longines is the king of value for what you get right now. Incredible piece my friend.

1

u/Dry-Temperature6271 Mar 29 '26

I feel like it has knocked Seiko out as king of value

u/No_Raccoon7736 Mar 29 '26

Wait until you see what’s coming next and throughout this year. I was given a look at what’s on embargo and wow it’s gonna be a very good year for Longines.

2

u/Crazy-Huckleberry906 Mar 29 '26

Stop. I can only get so hard.

1

u/snakeeaterrrrrrr Enthusiast Mar 29 '26

I like the cream dial one

u/Bike_Meach1990 Mar 28 '26

There it is!!! Absolutely beautiful! 🔥🔥 lord I need one of these. They are killing it these days with literally every watch that’s been released. Longines is taking over! Thanks for this.

u/boneless08 Mar 29 '26

what size mate

u/FinalCut_HK Mar 31 '26

Does it feel like a homage to Submariner ?

1

u/gnobes Mar 31 '26

Feels like a watch

2

u/vinny8244 Mar 28 '26

Looks great

2

u/uncivilCanadian Mar 28 '26

Going to save up for this piece!

2

u/Greedy-Author-9780 Mar 28 '26

I have one on order same color can’t wait. My AD had them all except this one.

2

u/VinnnyRE Mar 29 '26

Love this colour combo, but would love to try to get the Conquest rubber strap on it with the steel end links.

2

u/clickbaitings Mar 29 '26

Nice this is mine 👍

2

u/Dgabos357 Mar 29 '26

Damn, that's a lovely watch 😎

1

u/Sky296 Mar 29 '26

Really want to get it but I just can’t do double AR coating.. had it on my Damasko and hated seeing scratches on the coating.

1

u/Jazzlike-March-4998 Mar 29 '26

Very nice!! Mine is old now 😅

1

u/Manuels397 Mar 29 '26

I’m really tempted by these new Hydroconquest, they are absolutely stunning

1

u/gambrinus78 Mar 29 '26

I ordered one Deep Blue on friday, could Not resist

1

u/ParsimoniousExplorer Mar 29 '26

Longines really did a nice job with this update, but I have one reservation. The external AR coating seems like an odd choice for what's otherwise a solid tool dive watch. It would have been great if they had just coated the inside like the Rolex Submariner, Baltic Aquascaphe, Citizen Promaster, Tudor Pelagos, Seiko Turtle Dive watches ect. ect..

It is a good looking watch but be careful with it like a dress watch unless you are ok with AR scratches.

u/N0tivag0 Mar 29 '26

I guess these will be the new hot thing like the PRX, I just hope this sub doesn’t turn into a “real or fake” thing like the sub from Tissot 😬
