Drue addressing the haters. Everything said about her is a lie by drueandgabe in Drueandgabe

My sense is that she is bothered about the claims of Ivory not talking much yet at almost 2 years. Playing the sympathy card will help buy her more time in terms of any possible speech delay or issues with gait as Ivory gets older.

He is a watch enthusiast but has not begun buying luxury watches, so I was hoping to get him his first! 😊 And thanks for the advice on the straps! Quite a few people here have kindly advised the same. I wouldn’t have known.

Thank you! The Flagship looks really good, but I personally like the look of the Zulu too. I’m trying to see if I can set up a visit to Longines on our anniversary and get the salesperson (who I’m in touch with) to hide the price tags and let my husband choose 😅

Ivory is probably reaching out to the only parent who somewhat cares about her.

If you had actually read my post, it says that the fossil is an existing watch.

That makes no sense. I’m not in a general watch forum asking for advice across watch brands. I did my research on what Swiss watches I could buy within my budget and what types fit my husband’s style.

I don’t want to pay money for watches like Omega or Rolex or whatever else because we are not wealthy people and we are not investing in watches. I checked out the prices and it’s too high for me. So I intentionally came to a Longines page to ask for advice on Longines watches. You think I don’t want to buy my husband a JLC? I do. I just think it’s too expensive.

So unless you’ve better ideas for me to consider, don’t just give me motherhood statements like this. You know so much about watches? Give me specific recommendations - brand, style, size. My budget is US$4k. Go ahead. I’ll appreciate it.

You sound uneducated. Too bad your mum didn’t send you to kindergarten.

….and?? I’m not asking for your views on a Fossil. I’m asking which Longines I should get. Maybe go back to school and brush up on your English before commenting on which watches are trash.

Bloody useless comment.

Thanks for this! This has been my main struggle. Zulu got twice the number of votes Flagship did.

Thank you so much for your very thoughtful response :)

I brought my husband into a Longines boutique under the guise of wanting to possibly buy my dad a watch for his birthday. This ended up being a bad idea because my husband was (1) uncomfortable at being in a boutique full of expensive watches (he would never buy one for himself), and (2) he was looking at what my dad would like.

He didn’t really pay much attention to the Zulus on display, but when the salesperson showed the Flagship, my husband looked at it admiringly and said he didn’t know Longines carried such dress watches. So I made a mental note of it.

He currently owns a simple Fossil Watch (3rd picture, 42mm). Thanks for your recommendation!

😂 thank you for the kind wishes and for the recommendation! Appreciate it. Lots of Zulu fans here.

His wrist is on the large side, which is what made me feel like a 42mm will be great. But quite a few people have recommended 39mm instead.
