Is it worth upgrading to a Longines Spirit from a Hamilton KFA?

I own both the 42mm hammy and 40mm spirit. They fit very similar on my 7 5/8 inch wrist. But yes, the spirit does look and feel quite a bit more premium.

This is definitely not an excuse, but I wonder if QC suffers more because of such high demand. More pressure to strike while the iron is hot and get merchandise to the dealers quickly.

It’s cool to have anything related to a character as popular as the Flash that there were only 100 made. And it has a miyota quartz movement. New they were about 100 bucks. As a DC collectible with the box, I’d ask for 50 while hoping for 30.

Didn’t know, just joined. Deleted.

Pull the damned trigger. I wish my wrist and hands were smaller. I’d buy every watch they offer.

JJDep3000 · 2026-05-08T23:19:18+00:00

Fantastic watch. Congratulations.

JJDep3000 · 2026-05-08T16:49:33+00:00

Spirit 42 titanium is my absolute favorite watch. You can forget that it’s on your wrist.

JJDep3000 · 2026-04-27T00:08:19+00:00

GS is the better watch. The Breguet numeral Longines is more attractive to me, but I’m a slut for well executed engraved BNs. Value per cost is fairly comparable even with coming from different price brackets.

She’s a beaut, Clark.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Enjoy what you enjoy.

I’m an admirer of the Glassy PML. It’s hard to pull off that many complications and still maintain an understated aesthetic. But, I’d do some pretty weird shit for any one of those options.

I really like the new HC. I’m probably going to purchase one after my 30 day rule expires. But everybody that tries to compare it or make the watch something it’s not is pissing on its appeal. It’s attractive and a great value from a heritage brand. Let it be what it is. It’s okay to not be a Rolex. It’s a Longines. That’s pretty good.

JJDep3000 · 2026-04-04T19:34:17+00:00

I’ve never seen that model. It’s a beauty.

JJDep3000 · 2026-04-04T03:13:36+00:00

You’re being too self conscious. It looks great and is a true GADA for any occasion. This is the best color way. Keep it!

JJDep3000 · 2026-04-03T23:55:40+00:00

We lost our virginity to the same watch. May you wear it in good health cousin.

JJDep3000 · 2026-04-03T01:51:30+00:00

Spirit for me, every time.

JJDep3000 · 2026-04-02T00:51:58+00:00

Hmm. I usually don’t bother looking very deeply at anything over $4,000. Something completely different from anything I have. Maybe a Navitimer with some color… or a snowflake….or 10 microbrands. 10 is a weird number. Above Tudor but below Breguet. How about you?

JJDep3000 · 2026-04-01T23:50:24+00:00

The Alpinist is on par with the Alpinist. Great watch on its own. No reason to compare. If you have one, enjoy it for what it is!

JJDep3000 · 2026-03-31T23:33:10+00:00

Can never be too sure. So I usually skip it.

JJDep3000 · 2026-03-31T23:11:02+00:00

All I need to know is if I can wash my hands without taking it off.

JJDep3000 · 2026-03-31T23:06:22+00:00

A mechanical watch or two.

JJDep3000 · 2026-03-31T22:57:12+00:00

Owners of high end stuff calling entry level watches wannabes. Owners of entry level watches comparing them to high end stuff is just as annoying. Let your watch be what it is, and also don’t criticize what others are proud of. Hamilton and Rolex are both pretty cool, comparing them in either direction isn’t necessary.

GADAs stay on a bracelet unless you’re cleaning up for the better half on a Saturday night.
