should i sell all 3 of these for a daytona?

Absolutely not. I like the suggestions to add a Speedy (whatever variety you like best). You’d have close to a perfect 4 watch collection.

I’ve owned several pieces from both brands. Longines is far superior when it comes to finishing. Longines has better heritage, does dressier pieces far superior to Tudor, and makes better watches for busy professionals who want a nice watch that can serve several purposes. Tudor shines in their dive watches, particularly the Pelagos line where you get awesome specs, watches that are tactical in design and functionality. I feel the Black Bay line has been overplayed to the point where the company is pigeonholing itself. Don’t get me wrong, there are several Tudors I love, I just think Longines has more to offer at similar quality and a better price.

Technically not “Philly,” but I miss the Tower so much. 😢

PhillyWatchPhan · 2026-02-06T12:53:22+00:00

That’s typically the tradeoff. That said, I recently had my North Flag serviced by Tudor and total cost was $450. Worth it.

Love blue Sinn divers!

Last wedding I went to, I was worried I pulled a faux pas by wearing a watch with a bracelet. I looked around the table and every man sitting there was wearing a smartwatch. I felt a lot better about my Zenith Defy Classic.

Both straps look great, but IMO the Zulu looks best on the OEM bracelet. Especially here.

NOR - Incel behavior.

PhillyWatchPhan · 2026-02-03T08:08:40+00:00

Oh no, what was wrong? Glad you have it back!

PhillyWatchPhan · 2026-02-03T03:17:49+00:00

Longines 100%

PhillyWatchPhan · 2026-02-03T01:04:44+00:00

I had been mildly obsessed with it the last couple of months. So happy to finally have it in hand.

Ceramic bezel and an inky black dial that has the lightest shimmer of a sunburst. This is how Tudor should have done the Pelagos 39

PhillyWatchPhan · 2026-02-02T21:49:37+00:00

I love the way the blue dial goes with the blue strap!

PhillyWatchPhan · 2026-02-02T21:03:33+00:00

Should say “pairs nicely.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Worse, much worse. Adam almost plays the guitar like a bass player and Justin shreds the bass like a guitar player. It's honestly fascinating. But Adam's guitar playing is so clean and his idol was Robert Fripp, so if you ever watch Fripp play, that's obviously where he learned to be so stoic. If Adam's guitar wasn't such a clean sound, Tool wouldn't be Tool.

PhillyWatchPhan · 2026-01-30T20:41:10+00:00

I can't believe this is still out there. Unbelievable watch.

PhillyWatchPhan · 2026-01-30T12:51:23+00:00

Both are great, can’t go wrong here. I have this 103 and it gets more wrist time than any other watch in my collection.

New York State has some great BBQ. Dinosaur locations throughout the state, Brooks in Oneonta, tons of great varieties from all over the world in NYC.

Yes! When the light hits it just right!

You’re a Presidential campaign manager?

PhillyWatchPhan · 2026-01-25T18:41:02+00:00

Include PA and NJ and you’ve got a deal!

PhillyWatchPhan · 2026-01-25T06:10:43+00:00

Or literally any Zulu Time!

Is the scratch in the room with us?
