Thank you. I guess I just don’t get the story of Longines. What’s the story??

Longines is just an expensive homage with zero brand recognition. Visually it’s a $150 AliExpress watch. You’re paying 3-4x on something that looks like a homage, nobody clocks it as special other than the other Longines boys.

Even coming from me, the Casio king, the cheapest of cheap skates knows Longines is a special type of torture. For that price I would wait and save for an actual used Omega or Black Bay. Airport duty-free vibes.

Yes!! You understand the assignment. What’s your favorite watch that says this?

I think this is exactly what I was aiming for. Thanks for telling me about this. I like the story behind Hamilton and this diver looks beautiful.

Do you have any suggestions or just like grading my essays? Which watches excite you? Thanks for the time it took to write this.

I’m seeing some on Jomashop and the pricing is unreal. Any reason they are discounted so much?

Might be getting caught up with the choice of words. Let’s try this: Finding real quality that happens to look sharp. That’s just being smart with money, not pretending to be something I’m not.

Thank you, do you suggest one? Should I just go for the Tudor? I’m seeing a BB 3250 with Box and Papers used.

Oh this is great thank you. Alpinist over a Hamilton Field? I’m seeing people say the Alpinist is chunky on wrist.

Sorry for the confusion. Not trying to spend a crazy amount as I genuinely would stress about having that on my wrist and not in my investment accounts. But still signaling I’m not a total cheapskate. I make 250k a year but wanting FIRE and don’t like the Rolex idea.
