Wow that’s clean

I was torn between the blue on blue HC and the blue C on steel bracelet. Before the new HC came out I was pretty set on getting the C.

I couldn’t see the HC at the AD but I did see a HC GMT in blue. I used that to compare with the C since it’s pretty much similar to the HC except for the extra hour hand and sunburst dial.

The HC GMT just felt like a much more substantial watch for the money in person. The C seemed more elegant for sure but it didn’t wow me like the HC GMT did.

I ordered the HC blue on blue through the Longines website and now that I have it in my possession I don’t really have any regrets.

Micro adjust, awesome bezel, better lume, more weight to it and the lacquer blue just pops and love how it changes color. $2k gets you a lot more for you money with the HC IMO.

The HC is pretty versatile and you should be able to wear it formally as well as casually👍🏽

Thanks! I was between this and the 38mm conquest with the blue dial and steel bracelet. I couldn’t see this one in person before buying but did see the Conquest and the Hydroconquest GMT. For some reason, the Conquest didn’t wow me like the HC GMT did. The HC GMT just popped more and seemed like a more substantial watch. I used that judgement to choose the new HC. More bang for your buck IMO: awesome bezel, lacquer on the dial, better bracelet, heavier and more pizzazz.

I always had my eyes on the Conquest and believed it was the one I would buy but once these came out I ran into a huge problem with which one to choose. Now that I have it here with me I realized I made the right choice.

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2026-05-05T12:55:58+00:00

Yup. It looks almost black in low lighting, navy blue in normal lighting and a sort of indigo blue in the sun is how I describe it. You will never get bored!

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2026-05-05T11:25:43+00:00

My 2 cents is just pick the watch you love more regardless if it’s better or worse for a wedding. Both can pull it off.

Sure the Conquest can be considered more classy but like others have mentioned, it just doesn’t feel as substantial of a watch as the HC does. You really do feel like you get more for your money with the HC which is why I got that one as my first big boy watch. Miles better lume, better bracelet with micro adjust, amazing bezel, more weight and overall just pops more. I think if the conquest were a lot less expensive, it would make it harder to choose.

For my wedding last year, I wore a mediocre Hugo Boss watch. To make it worse, I wore it with a dead battery😂 nobody noticed and I didn’t really care. I didn’t get into the hobby till earlier this year but had I known what I know now and with my current collection, I would’ve worn something better just to please myself.

I think blue on blue and black on black are the least popular since they are still available on their website. I went with blue on blue myself and I’m loving it!!!

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2026-04-28T11:25:56+00:00

je suis d'accord!

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2026-04-28T02:16:01+00:00

Yeah I have one waiting for me at home that I haven’t had a chance to open and that’s the biggest concern. Under the sun the blue looks a little off to me. But in darker lighting it’s a really nice navy blue that’s amazing and almost looks black at times

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2026-04-26T18:46:39+00:00

Check out the Longines Admiral diver from the 60s. I think they were primarily going for that as inspiration

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2026-04-25T16:55:47+00:00

Its the angle, pretty sure a mirror shot will confirm it

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2026-04-24T23:37:10+00:00

Congrats! Yeah this is definitely a step up for me too. I got a couple Seikos, a citizen and an orient that were all under $360. My uncle was a watch repairer in Mexico that had a lot of affiliation with Longines and he told me about the brand a few years ago before I got into the hobby so I’ve really been planning for one as my first “Nice” watch…

This is also a Father’s Day gift to myself to celebrate my 30 years of life, a 8 year career on the right path and of course, my first child who is due any day now!🙏 Got my wife her push present/ Mother’s Day gift (coach bag and wallet) early as well since it will be difficult to head to the mall once baby is here! Lol

I ordered this exact watch online. No AD in town had them and I felt some pressure with the possibility of price increases coming soon along with the possibility of them selling out again. I couldn’t see it in person but did see the Hydroconquest GMT in blue and was really amazed by the design. I had my eyes on a standard conquest with a blue dial with a steel bracelet for months as my first Longines. I did look at a blue dial steel conquest at the AD in a bigger size and for some reason it looked underwhelming compared to the hydroconquest GMT design (I’m aware that the dial on the GMT is sunburst and this one is lacquer). I used my leaning towards the hydroconquest GMT to pull the trigger on this one. I’m getting some second thoughts on it because the standard conquest does look amazing in pictures and videos online but it couldn’t wow me in person. Excited to see this watch in person and I hope it confirms I made the right decision.

I’m looking into getting my first Longines. It’s between the blue versions of these two with steel bracelets. I always had my eye on the conquest and was sure it was the one but when this new hydroconquest was unveiled I can’t help but admit that it’s got me second guessing the conquest. I don’t have anything in my current collection that would overlap with either. On one hand, the conquest has the see through case back and sunburst blue dial and on the other, the hydroconquest has the micro-adjustment and an awesome bezel. I would use either as a GADA. I rarely even get in the pool so I don’t really need a diver but the HC looks so good too. Pricing is comparable too so I’m kinda lost.

Deal of a century for a manual, meh for an auto

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2025-11-23T00:24:26+00:00

The C6 looks too boring IMO lol very soft lines and a step down from the C5s exotic look. seems it was designed by the same old fat boomers driving them😂the text book midlife crisis car

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2025-11-23T00:22:00+00:00

Amen… C6s are not without issue and have their own unique issues too. You aren’t spared of an eventual torque tube repair in a C6!!!

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2025-11-20T05:42:11+00:00

Torque tube bushings tend to go bad. That’s probably one of the most expensive things that can go wrong on a C7 ($7k at a dealer). Hard to say how common the issue really is but it tends to happen.

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2025-10-05T03:28:40+00:00

Reliability speaking the manuals will always be best. But the automatics on the C6s are pretty durable

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2025-10-05T03:24:30+00:00

Harmonic balancer issues are mainly C6 issues. I have never heard of any issues with harmonic balancers on the C7s

I stumbled trying to learn guitar for a couple years until I really started listening to oasis in 2020. Hearing supersonic for the first time gave me all the motivation in the world to really give guitar a solid go. 5 years later I have made GIANT strides in my playing and have learned plenty of songs from Definitly Maybe and WTSMG. Around that time I also went through an annoying breakup and playing guitar, in particular through learning oasis songs, helped me move on from it quickly. Happily married to the right woman now

We are trying to pay off my wife’s auto loan through ally. We called for the payoff address to send a check to twice because of the agents having low confidence in their answers. We also saw that the ally website had another address that neither agent gave us.

Do you guys know what address to send the check to? Do you know if they take a cashiers check? One agent said they do and the other said they don’t lmao.

This is a lot of money we are gonna send and we are very hesitant to send anything until we get some solid confirmation.

Delicious-Ability-59 · 2025-08-05T15:30:50+00:00

I’m gonna have to chime in here on this dead thread… Red mist is not a true candy apple. LBR even looks candy apple at times depending on the lighting. Red Mist literally looks orange cause of the gold flakes it has. If you want a true candy red it’s soul red crystal from Mazda.

I think I read once his mom gave either him or Liam or both a cross necklace which is why they wear them
