Really nice specs and looks great. I love that bracelet. At $2400 it is a real good deal for those specs. I am not putting down Longines, i like them, but how many will spend $2400 on a Longines? Being a grand less than anything with those spec and $7k less than any Rolex in a similar style, it could be popular. I love the power reserve. |

The local Rolex AD also sells Longines and they told me they do a great business in them with most of the owners possessing much more expensive watches but love Longines for the value and as a daily wear in circumstances where they don’t want to wear a watch costing 3-10x more.

Stopped by an AD today and they didn't have any new Hydroconquest in stock. |

I have been back and forth on the new Hydroconquest. I tried the 2 sizes on yesterday. They are real nice. The 39mm is perfect for my 7.25" wrist. Very nice watch and a great price for the specs. Now that the indicis have grown on me. On another topic, i tried the 39mm Legend Diver on also. That is a very nice watch too. They didn't have the bigger size. Longines is putting out VERY nice product. |
