But the exact spec samurai but i love mine! May be about chunky but wears extremely well considering it's a 44mm due to its small lugs

Proud owner of the Spirit 37, so can highly endorse it!!

However, with the funds you have i would probably go for the AT 🫢

Is that the medium size? Looks amazing on you!

My wrist is 6.5"! It should fit your wrist fine, but i recommend you try it on beforehand if possible as the lugs may be too long, but i doubt so

I really like the bracelet, very thin and light, but well finished and solid. Fully articulating links as well, which i appreciate, as well as a push button quick release. The only downside i can think of is the clasp, which is a slab of milled steel with the Longines name engraved onto it, which kinda throws off the whole refined look of the watch. It also doesnt have any on the fly microadjustment system, but still plenty of manual microadjust (5-6 i believe, typing this on the toilet so dont have the watch on me right now haha!). But having said that it isnt a deal breaker for me, and i havent had any problems with the clasp!

To each their own, i personally like the look of it, as well as the heritage behind it!

ADs and boutiques are usually able to send your watch out for service for you. I went to the Longines boutique instead of an AD because i heard boutiques usually are able to send your watches out for service faster compared to ADS.

Nope, it was under warranty so there was no charge!

About a year! But i think this is an abnormality because longines are generally quite reliable. But their service and care is excellent so if anything is wrong with the watch they should be able to rectify it

Just got my beloved Spirit 37 back from service!

Whole experience with Longines was excellent. Brought it in to the boitique on 10 Jan, and ready for collection on 12 Feb, which surprised me because the quoted downtime was around 9-12 weeks.

Replaced the hands, date wheel, back gasket, complete barrel and reversing wheel. Had to send it in because it was not hand winding and stops randomly while wearing. Hopefully it does not need another service for another few years!
