The other day I was at a local thrift store and came across a Longines Hydroconquest diver being sold for $25 plus tax. They just put out. I snagged it up quick. I figured i was only out $25 plus tax if it was not real. Well it was real but when i put …

Hi fellow Longines fans
To me the Longines Avigation BigEye is the most beautiful heritage model by Longines since the Legend Diver.
I hope this can become a sticky -…

Anyone have experience with Longines gator straps?
I’m thinking of buying a fancy gator strap to dress up my white dial spirit. Are the Longines gator straps worth the $200+ or should I look at Hirsch or customs?

This isn’t really a Longines post but just so happens my 37mm Spirit was part of the crowd. I know the shiny brass does not match the SS case, and I struggled with that fact, but was able to overcome. Of course none of the leather finishes match perfectly but it will suffice.
Conquest or Spirit? I would appreciate your thoughts, esp, regarding the engine
Hello, Longines experts. How this came about is that I saw a picture on FB of the current Conquest, a watch I had not previously considered, and I thought it looked cool. I have studied it a bit, and I like what I see.
But . . . while at the official…

I am really intrigued by this new offering. The size and thickness are acceptable, the GMT is practical for traveling, and the new design is quite appealing – not to mention a greatly improved clasp! I might have to pick this up. The price seems fair …

Hello,
Just arrived on this forum
. I’m French, so I apologize for my mistakes .
2 years ago I started opening , disassembling and trying to reassemble mechanical watches. I broke quite a lot of them in the beginning but it’s far better now.
Usually I work on ordinary watches, but I got recently a watch which looks like a Longines. There is no indication on the dial but the movement looks really like a genuine 25.17 caliber. I sent an email to Longines and they answered…

Finally got my first Longines – Spirit 40mm
I have wanted a Longines Spirit for a while now. Went back and forth on the specific model – really liked the no-date version, but it’s only available in Titanium and I’m not a big Ti guy. Also considered a Zulu but I have a few GMT’s already and don’t really need the complication, plus they’re more expensive. Finally settled on a blue 3 hander, and the question was 37 v. 40. I found a well priced, near mint 40 on eBay and decided to pull the trigger.
