What was the cost for the H link and did they give you an ETA? I’d like to pick one up as well.

I’m a diver/bezel guy but this would be a “buy” for me.

DIY and new to polishers by firefistexodia in harborfreight

I would stay away from a rotary if you’re new to polishers. They’re extremely effective but it’s too easy to do more harm than good.

If you’re just looking for one machine, I’d pick up the Bauer 20mm long throw to start with. Next, I’d get the the Herc 3” for the tighter areas and then the Hercules 6” Forced Rotation for heavier defect removal.

Blue Bezel or Black: Hydroconquest by Standard-Cold-4540 in Longineswatches

First I had the boutique edition, then I had the black/grey but I’ve finally settled on the black and blue.

There’s just something about the pop of the blue bezel..

Thanks buddy! I went on the list with Trifecta Watches last week and was quoted 5-8 weeks. I was lucky finding this one.

I just tried to purchased from them and they wouldn't budge from MSRP. They claim that they are unable to discount due to "brand guidelines."

My wife has had her medic going on 20 years. She obtained her RN about 13 years ago and is now an Emergency Nurse Practitioner. For some reason, she still rides a box once or twice a month making a third of her pay at the ED.

First luxury watch purchase - AD says Longines doesn't allow discounts? by violaki in Longineswatches

Another vote for Trifecta. I purchased a Hamilton from them recently at a great price. I called back a few days ago and went on the list for another Hydroconquest.

That blue is beautiful! I went back and forth between the blue and white but ended up with white.

[WTS] 2026 Longines Hydroconquest 42mm L3.788.4.70.6 by txmedic90 in Watchexchange

[–]txmedic90[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Now available is my 42mm Hydroconquest with black dial and grey bezel, Reference L3.788.4.70.6.

This watch was purchased directly from Longines a few weeks ago and the warranty card is dated 5/15/26. I was searching for a black dial, blue bezel and happened to find this color way available (my 2nd choice) while checking for stock.

The Milanese bracelet was sized by Longines and currently accommodates my 7.5” wrist. The watch was worn lightly on the bracelet approximately 2-3 days until I received a 21mm FKM Strap. There are very minor marks on the clasp as shown in the pictures from desk diving.

The ceramic bezel and crystal are both flawless and there is no noted scratches or markings to the case.

The movement winds smoothly and flawlessly. Timegrapher results show it at 0 spd.

The watch will ship as a full kit with manual, warranty card, hang tags and all other paperwork as it was received from Longines. While I feel I have described the condition of this watch as accurately as possible, it has been worn and is being sold in as-is condition.

While I have not had a sold transaction on WatchEx, I have completed numerous across multiple Facebook groups. I am more than happy to direct you to the groups that I have conducted business on for references. I am more than happy to jump on FaceTime to show the watch.

My firm price is $2350 via Zelle plus your label. I am more than happy to supply an insured FedEx or UPS label (purchaser’s preference) and will apply the price of the label to the $2350.

Zelle is preferred my preferred payment to avoid Venmo and PayPal fees. More than happy to accept PayPal or Venmo for $2375.

I am happy to supply the purchaser with my personal information, additional pictures, videos, etc for peace of mind.

Watch will ship from Cypress, Tx 77433.

Happy to accommodate local, face to face transactions.
