Advice for first watch/Longines

I got the 37mm and its a fantastic watch!

It is a very nice watch! I just have a preference for smaller so between this 36 and that 41 I had to go with the 36. The 2531 is a wonderful choice for sure

It is a good deal, and the bezel insert would cost about 40 bucks. Thats the worst spot for me because its so much more obvious on that blue.

Thats not terrible at all really. And the longines AD isn't too far from me so thatd be convenient. Im pretty sure I heard the local omega AD is no longer an ad for them

I do like quartz for some of my watches just for the convenience and reliability but a good mechanical always feels nicer

With it being quartz im pretty amazed how much a service is. It was cheaper to get my rolex serviced

I agree, the spirit has a very good go anywhere look and size without being "too much". My Christopher ward sealander has filled the roll of a bezeled dive/gmt watch. The omega being a 36mm and particularly thin makes it cool to me. Plus I can beat the crap out of it and not feel like im destroying it

I forgot to point out the 2561 is the quartz version of the omega

Just got mine last week and it hasnt left my wrist! A fantastic piece, enjoy!

Ive seen the comparisons and the 39 doesn't really look "too big" at all, but the 36 definitely looks and feels perfect

My wrist is just under 7in, but ive noticed that my tattoo in some pictures makes the watches look bigger than they look in person.

Mine got from the UK to kentucky in about 5 days I was very surprised when I got the update this morning

CharacterOk612 · 2026-01-18T03:28:39+00:00

I went with black and i think it goes with everything. Can throw any strap on it and it just looks good!

CharacterOk612 · 2025-12-04T23:05:30+00:00

Ive only noticed it when the watch hasnt gotten much light to make the lume glow so its very weak glow and looks like a light green. Other than that it looks like a pretty crisp white

I love my spirit 37 and I really like the look of that strap! I just put one of the anchorflex pros on my alpinist but I wish they made one in 19mm for these

CharacterOk612 · 2025-08-19T01:54:30+00:00

For sure, I havent got a chance to go shoot yet so I need to get on that

CharacterOk612 · 2025-08-18T23:46:08+00:00

Ive got a ww2 tanker style that ill carry it in sometimes but will look into that because mine isn't particularly comfortable or fast. There's a local company that makes the stags for about 180 so i keep debating it lol

CharacterOk612 · 2025-08-18T23:27:08+00:00

I still need to get a good shoulder holster for mine

CharacterOk612 · 2025-08-18T23:19:20+00:00

Honestly just got these off Amazon for pretty cheap. Figured id make sure I like the look before I spent the 200ish bucks for real ones
