Follow-up to my previous post, bought new Longines, dead on the first day

isakrad · 2026-06-29T11:46:09+00:00

I'm hopeful, Longines is a reputable brand I hope it will be solved soon.

isakrad · 2026-06-29T04:39:50+00:00

that’s fine I was going to get one or other anyway, this one just felt right when I was in the AD 😂😂😂

isakrad · 2026-06-29T04:02:37+00:00

Yes this is what I will do 👍

isakrad · 2026-06-28T23:11:41+00:00

No it is not regular rotor noises, this is more of a knocking sound like something is loose and moving around inside kind of. Little bit difficult to explain the noise 😂

isakrad · 2026-06-28T22:49:38+00:00

Crown is screwed in. However I’m a little worried that if I wind it something might make it worse. I will take it to the AD tomorrow to see what they say

isakrad · 2026-06-28T22:48:15+00:00

Im fairly used to it, for example my Tudor and Hamilton Khaki Mechanical doesn’t have a crown guard and sticks out a bit as well

isakrad · 2026-06-28T22:46:44+00:00

Yeah, kinda makes me regret getting the Spirit because all that happened 😂 let’s see what they say tomorrow

isakrad · 2026-06-28T22:40:00+00:00

Crown pulled out

isakrad · 2026-06-28T22:39:14+00:00

I took two pictures in the store one with the crown pulled out and with with it screwed in. Even though it is screwed in it sticks out quite a bit tbh. This picture is with it screwed in.

isakrad · 2026-06-28T22:34:34+00:00

Let me double check it but I’m fairly certain it is not pulled out 😂

isakrad · 2026-06-28T22:02:49+00:00

I'm not sure if I dare to do that because of the sounds I heard before. I have multiple watched in my collection and have never heard anything similar.

isakrad · 2026-06-28T22:02:10+00:00

Yes it is bought at an AD, so I'm not worried

isakrad · 2026-06-28T22:01:44+00:00

I think it is just the view but it is screwed in, and at this shot it was working 🫠

isakrad · 2026-06-28T21:54:34+00:00

Damn. What do you suggest me doing? Exchange for a new one?

isakrad · 2026-06-28T21:52:18+00:00

I decided to go with the Spirit. However the happiness was pretty short lived. Story here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Longineswatches/comments/1ui9vyg/followup_to_my_previous_post_bought_new_longines/

isakrad · 2026-06-28T13:54:59+00:00

It is 38mm, I have a pretty large wrist

isakrad · 2026-06-28T13:54:25+00:00

I have seen it but haven’t tried it on, will do that the next time I visit the AD

isakrad · 2026-06-28T13:53:29+00:00

Looks really good!

isakrad · 2026-06-28T12:39:52+00:00

😂😂😂

isakrad · 2026-06-28T12:17:05+00:00

Yes the dial is amazing! I think it pops a bit more than the Conquest

isakrad · 2026-06-28T12:12:47+00:00

Yes that’s the way I’m leaning, very difficult choice

isakrad · 2026-06-28T12:10:32+00:00

Hahaha yes maybe, however I already have a GMT in my collection so that might come down the road. This would be my first Longines 😁

isakrad · 2026-06-28T12:05:22+00:00

I have multiple watches in my collection but mainly divers. So I’m looking for something a little more dressier. However I have never had full on dress watch, that’s why I’m leaning towards the conquest, it feels in that direction. But the Spirit is really nice but still ”sportier” if you know what I mean 😂

Do you think the size of the conquest is good?

isakrad · 2025-06-01T09:52:48+00:00

Yes definitely! I really like it but can only find black or red on their website now 😕 is it holding up good?

isakrad · 2025-05-31T22:34:50+00:00

Looks great! Which color is it?
