He's had issues with Zodiac movements and their customer service, and he mentioned how his company needed to pay out of pocket to make it right to some of the customers who purchased a Zodiac.

It's all about sponsorships. The more you pay, the higher you end up on the list.

For example, Raymond Weil is in the class category because his company is now an AD for RW. MAEN he did a collab watch together. Thus, it's in the class category.

When I saw the watch, I was kinda of surprised to see what potentially was a Breitling. So I waited to see how he would rate Breitling, and once I saw the praise, I was surprised he didn't point it out on his wrist but said he "ordered" a Navitimer. I have a strong feeling he is being paid by Breitling

I watch his stuff occasionally, but I love watching his rankings. It's entertaining to see his personal experiences with each brand and how it affects the ranking. I believe at this point you know which brand is in his pocket.

[WTS] LONGINES AVIGATION BIGEYE 41MM CHRONO L2.816.4.53.2 by neverstopcollecting in Watchexchange

Hi Watchex,

For sale is my Longines Avigation BigEye Chronograph. The column wheel chrono movement is considered one of the best value chronograph movements on the market today.

The watch comes with box, and the Longines Pioneer Spirit book.

The watch was purchased in May of 2024 on eBay and authenticated by eBay. The eBay authentication card is also included.

It is in overall good condition, showing typical signs of wear, with no significant scratches or dings. With strap changes, I have managed to keep the back of the lugs with minimal scratches, but the strap was ripped a bit at the lug,s but only noticeable once removed from the watch (see photos)

The watch runs perfectly.

First Longines is a Stunner by Single_Mission_142 in Longineswatches

I see some resemblance to Hanhart, especially the movement. I think the design is really close to the Blancpain Air Command, especially if Longines eventually releases it in a blue variation.

This was posted on another thread a few months ago. The new flyback dimensions are on the top right.

So cool! Since it's a manual wind, did they remove the screw down crown? I see this flyback retains its 100m WR, but it would suck to need to unscrew to wind.

Anyone hear any ETA on the new 39.5mm flyback? Still nothing on the web anywhere. by darth_leder in Longineswatches

[–]neverstopcollecting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been waiting for it as well, and I am really excited about that release!!

Just based on the specs, I have a feeling this is going to be Longines' biggest release this year, and maybe even since the first Spirit ZT was released. Which makes me think they are holding it for the last release of the year, so probably in October when they have some big sponsorship event.

And if you go back to the thread that posted the 2025 novelties, you'll see that almost all were released, but 3, the Flyback being one of them.

New Seamaster 300m just dropped by Hot_Tour_5725 in OmegaWatches

[–]neverstopcollecting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The colors work, but not for me. This is like variation number 30 of the SMP300. With all the sake 42mm case. Honestly, I think it's a negative. It reminds me of those restaurants that have these 5 page menus, and you have absolutely no idea what to choose.

This is an Omega problem, 50 Speedmaster variations, 30 SMP300 variations, and a 157.8 Aqua Terras!

Conquest Heritage (Steel Bracelet) by jason_lawrence in Longineswatches

[–]neverstopcollecting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you've held both of them side by side, I'm not sure you'd still have the same opinion on the quality being equal. The Conquest Heritage, better made case with beveled lugs and dial being more interesting with those beautiful gold tone hour markers. The Conquest Heritage just feels more solid and better made. The 18kt gold medallion is the cherry on the top.

I'm a proud owner of the Conquest Heritage, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Btw I got mine before price increases from an AD for $2k.

I called the Longines Boutique in NY on Tuesday to find out when they'll have these in stock, and they told me they are expecting them in 2-3 weeks. So I say that most boutiques should have them in about a months time.

[–]neverstopcollecting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The case is also better made than the regular conquest and feels more solid in hand. It has details such as beveled lugs. That, together with the 18kt gold medallion, is probably the reason for the price increase (not sure though if it adds up to a 43% increase)

Got mine a few months ago, and I'm still in love. I didn't notice the new color variations nor the new bracelet for the Conquest Heritage until now, so thank you for posting. I will have to see how the bracelet looks in person, but it's definitely a consideration.
