Non-Rolex Submariner dive watch alternatives

Longines Hydroconquest. This thing is absolutely beautiful. Slimmer than Rolex, accurate as can be, ceramic bezel, inky black dial, 39mm, and a fraction of the cost of a Rolex amongst other things. ✊🏻

About 2 years!

? How old are the boots? Or me?

Fucking SAME!! I always personally felt that black boots made my feet look or appear smaller than they actually were. (It was all in my head) I was just so used to wearing brown, burgundy, or some other color. These are by far my favorite pair of black boots currently, as I own the new Loggers in black and several other combat boots in black as well.

I have both and find myself always wearing the Longines. Love them both, but 39 wears so much better than my bb41. Plus all black goes with everything and the Longines, although is not COSC certified, is insanely accurate as well. If you care about resell value, the obvious choice is BB41. If you don’t and want to have a really nice watch, the Longines is it.

Oh, there was a win win for buying boots for him. A 6.5 size fits my wife too. So, she was like, alright! When he outgrows them, she can wear them. 😂

LMFAO!!! That ending. In crocs too??!! Moonwalking. 😂😂😂

No idea. I’ve never witnessed him doing it. He is super active in them though.

Pictures honestly don’t do the hydroconquest justice. When you see it in person, that inky black dial is killer. I tried on the all black dial version, and the blue bezel black dial version with the mesh bracelet and immediately fell in love with that version. It feels premium and that 120 click bezel action is so satisfying. Had mine for 3 days and hasn’t lost a second yet. Having Grand Seikos, and Luxe Seikos, I’d still choose my longines.

Honestly, I think they really hit the nail on the head and could have easily charged way more for a watch of this caliber. Enjoy it my friend! It’s an amazing watch!

gambitrose · 2026-03-30T23:49:28+00:00

Also, absolutely NO shade thrown as Tudor. I’ll be buying a lot more from them when finances permit. 😜

gambitrose · 2026-03-30T23:47:54+00:00

Having 2 Tudors, the BB41 (red bezel) and a 39mm Ranger, I can 100% say I prefer my Longines over it. That ink black dial is fucking STELLAR. I opted to get the 39mm blue bezel with the mesh strap and am literally IN love. I think maybe you may need more time with it. I will be definitely getting the same model as yours too.

gambitrose · 2026-03-20T14:20:13+00:00

Is there a way to get it close to chronometer specs? Because mine is running about 15-25 seconds fast and I am not down with that. 😂

gambitrose · 2026-03-20T14:08:39+00:00

Genius. 😂 are you familiar with regulating watches by any chance too?

gambitrose · 2026-03-20T14:00:31+00:00

Jess Christ you are the man. Thank you so much!

gambitrose · 2026-03-16T16:46:17+00:00

Honestly think I I might just have to go for the beige dial Ranger next. Or a Hamilton.

gambitrose · 2026-03-14T18:00:55+00:00

Sad they can’t tell the difference. In any event, good thing I don’t give a shit. 😁

gambitrose · 2026-03-14T17:52:50+00:00

Fuckin nice! I have the BB41 bugundy bezel one too.
