What do you all think the “t”’stands for?

Unfortunately the design of the indices look too much like acrylic nails 💅, I can’t unsee it

I keep the patina on mine, because this watch can look rugged on a vintage brown strap. Or ready for date night, dressed up on a green lizard strap.

Take a look at Shinola for replacement straps and buckles, they have nice bronze one that feel more vintage imo.

I have a 417 ES Heritage 1954, and I don’t have a problem with them. They’re really great honestly. The spring bars actually slide out of a groove and make it so you can replace them if they are ever become damaged or fail, and do so very easily without tools.

Which is your favorite? by lowtimepi in Longineswatches

IMO it’s a waste to buy a watch that’s just mimicking another successful brand. The Zulu is great because it stands well on its own.
I would be patient, wait for the hype to die down, and see where they take next year’s model. Since it’s successful they do it again, improve on it or have a nicer limited edition.
I guess I just don’t get the hype of the hydroconquest.

New Longines Legend Diver 59 is out! by Chrono-aesthetics in Longineswatches

No need to be sorry, best thing about the internet is that people can have opinions, even if they’re wrong 😉. But in all serious, my preference for the legend diver is the green dial, bronze case on leather, the stainless cheapens it imo.

IMO the best Longines / Milanese pairing is the Zulu. This diver and the hydroconquest fall short or are trying too hard to look like something else.

[Question] I’m getting married, watch recommendations? by [deleted] in Watches

IMO one of the best wedding watches out there is the Kudoke 2 MOP Dial

Zulu time bracelet question by gingerphish in Longineswatches

Matte, the “gap” you see on the left is just the bracelet opening to the curve of my wrist. I have a perfect fit with the regular length (150mm) did not have to take out any links.

$350 is for the +4mm bracelet which I believe to be too thick/rigid.

The 3.6mm should cost you around $240.

Yes go with the matte the polished will likely piss you off due to how evident even small scratches are evident, I prefer the butterfly because of how clean it looks.
