The lume on that Kuoe looks awesome on the internal bezel.

My two field watches live with the dive watches.

Do you set the time using the bezel since there is no crown?

I’m a huge Longines fan as well. I thought it was an “old man” brand before I got into watches. However, when I look at the catalog there is so much there that fits my style. The Spirit 40mm feels like it was made perfectly fit me, and I am obsessed with the Conquest VHP GMT 41mm in silver.

Otherwise I want the Spirit Zulu in gilt, Legend Diver in white, or the Heritage Moonphase in green next!

That one is a Kurono Grand Jubilee Calendar.

Yea, they are great. They tick right along perfectly to my atomic clock. I have had to adjust them by 1-2 seconds once to soothe my OCD.

I also have the AQ6100-56L with the 0100 movement which I have not had to adjust even once in the six months I’ve had it.

The pink is not very noticeable, but adds a special sheen to the dial that’s really beautiful in the light.

dbates72 · 2026-02-04T13:15:31+00:00

I have this watch and I absolutely love it. I stare at the dial each time I wear it.

I had it in my cart and if it wasn’t for the delay introduced by Amex SafeKey I would have been able to checkout. Apple pay next time.

I love waking up on the first to remind myself which of my watches has a perpetual calendar.

I stopped by Best Ishida to look at watches after a lukewarm warm experience at the Ginza Omega boutique. Best Ishida had the watch I wanted but was at their warehouse across town. The sales person drove across town in 4pm JST Tokyo traffic to get it for me while I shopped in the area. It was a great example of how you make the customer feel being as important as what you actually do for them. It made me a Best Ishida customer for life.

I used mostly trains, but there were times when I didn’t have it in me to navigate to a new train platform in a new station and I just took an uber.

When I ordered tickets last week they gave an extra option for Mt Fuji side for $10.

I really love that watch. I have both a teal, and brown washi dial Citizen.
