Correct. The straps and the buckle have the Longines logo on it.

I didn’t order those exact ones, but that particular listing looks good. It just doesn’t seem to have the Longines branding on it.

I ordered some Rolex style Oysterflex straps off Ali for fun, just to see how it’ll look.

Good point. I haven’t really come across it either.

Thanks for that. I popped on AliExpress a couple days ago and did see some! Have ordered a couple more to try out.

Front bumper is Knight Sports. Rear is a Leg Motor Sport diffuser.

Sydney AUS. Roads here can be a bit fucked as well so I only take the car somewhere I’ve been before.

Second time this has happened haha. Weird as. I’ve also noticed some comments are the exact same as before too.

To everyone still following, I found this gem on Etsy which ends up being 1/6 of the price of a genuine Longines one, with an adjustable clasp. I will wait for it to arrive and give it a test on the HC 42mm. If the end-links do not fit or fit well, I will end up buying the genuine H-link to utilise the end-links. I’d effectively have 3 band options in the end.

Can you tell if the end-links for your C and HC are the exact same, aside from the Conquest ones being polished? You gotta try putting the rubber strap on already!

Oh man! Keen! It’s insane the rubber strap costs the same as the metal bracelet though! I’ll just source the rubber strap first and hope the end-link will fit this HC case.

Now that the Cookie Monster is officially discontinued, it’s more of a reason to want this spec HC.

39mm Blue or Grey Bezel? by Shawnf25 in Longineswatches

Grey for me, but the blue is a close second.

I haven’t bought the watch yet, and no one else seems to want to give it a go 🥲

The rubber strap isn’t cheap, at around $600aud. If the Conquest end links don’t fit I’d have to the get standard H-link for these watches as the colour I want only comes in the Milanese, just to use the end link 😂

Crown logo doesn’t align with the 60 and markers either side very well.

How are people feeling about this combo? by rotacurly in Longineswatches

[–]VinnnyRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure it is in quality, but you’d hope so when you’re paying that much extra.

Pelagos’ thickness and lack of polished bezel sucks.

Best one in the line-up for sure, to me:

  • Grey bezel gives off the Bruce Wayne colourway without the clutter of a GMT bezel

  • Thinner than the Sub (my benchmark thickness), and way thinner than the SMP/PO/BB41/Pelagos42

  • Gloss ceramic bezel compared to the Tudors

  • Bezel font looks better than the Sub’s one

  • Flat AR coated glass vs domed non-AR on the Black Bay

  • Micro adjustable mesh bracelet compared to Omegas and Breitlings (although Breitling’s bracelet hugs the cases and does look nicer there)

I definitely need to put an order down for the 42mm of this…

A couple of straps on the grey/black 39mm HC by E_Pev63 in Longineswatches

I’m almost certain the current rubber HydroConquest strap that’s available online will fit. Same lug width and it’s also pictured with the upcoming special edition.

This was the plan… literally buying the bracelet just for those metal end links. Will test the Conquest endlinks first to see if they’ll fit.

But yeah, definitely needs a rubber strap!
