New member. Can this be repaired? Help please

Hi guys,

Looking to get some advice before I venture down to an AD. Was changing the strap on my 12 year old HC and I noticed the face is losing bits!

The markers at 1 and 7 are missing. One I can see floating on the case. The other is no where to be found.

Any idea on if this is worth repairing/cost? If I don’t get repaired am I likely to do some damage

Hope someone can help

New Hydroconquest size question

I have a 7 inch wrist. I never wear less than a 42 but I realize the bezel is really a 43. I love the watch but a few people mentioned it looked large on me. I like a good presence and feel the lugs are at their limit. What do you think is any else…

Been hunting a non-Longines bracelet that looks decent for my Zulu Time. Thanks to TheGanzman here on WUS, finally found one. Hand made by a guy in Australia, it is a 22mm to 18mm taper, oyster/Tudor style clasp with micro adjust, even though not on-th…

Accuracy of Spirit ZUlu GMT

Eight months ago, December 2025, I bought a Longines Spirit Zulu GMT. Since the day I opened the box it had been running fast about 2 seconds a day. Which is pretty darn good. Now all of a sudden it’s losing about 3-4 seconds a day.

Why would it change so suddenly like that?
It hasn’t taken any bumps or knocks.

How is the Lume on the current HydroConquest?
