Thinking about picking up a Master Collection Chronograph Moonphase (Ref. L2.673.4.78.6)—would love your advice & wrist shots!

Hey everyone,
I’m currently looking at buying a pre-owned Longines Master Collection Chronograph Moonphase (ref. L2.673.4.78.6). I love the look of the silver dial and all the complications packed into it, but since it's a bit of an investment, I'd love to get some real-world feedback from anyone who owns or has owned one.
How has your experience been with reliability and overall wearability for daily use? Also, for those who have had theirs serviced, how often do you get it done and roughly what did it run you?
If you own this reference (or any variation of the Master Collection Moonphase), please drop your wrist shots or strap combo pics in the comments—I'd love to see how it looks on different wrists and setups. Thanks in advance for the help!

Rate my collection

Current collection so far. Pretty happy with how it’s coming along! ( Except few 🥲 )
What would you rate it out of 10? Any recommendations based on what you see?

Would Appreciate a QC!

  1. Dealer name: [OraWatch]
  2. Factory name: ZF
  3. Model name (& version number): Tudor Black Bay 41 (Burgundy Dial / Bezel, Master Chronometer)
  4. Price Paid: [ $375 ]
  5. Index alignment: Looks very good overall using the QC tool. The 12 triangle and horizontal batons (3, 6, 9) sit square to the grid lines. The 6 o'clock baton looks slightly off at first, but appears straight relative to the "SWISS MADE" text below.
  6. Dial Printing: Clean and crisp. Shield logo, Tudor text, and depth rating are straight with no visible bleeding.
  7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A (No date model)
  8. Hand Alignment: Looks well-centered and stacked properly. Snowflake hands appear parallel.
  9. Bezel: Very clean. The 12 o'clock pearl/pip aligns well with the dial's 12 o'clock marker.
  10. Solid End Links (SELs): Looks tight with no noticeable gaps from the front.
  11. Timegrapher numbers: [e.g., +2s/d, 285°, 0.1ms — fill in from your TD's timegrapher clip/photo]
  12. Anything else you notice: Nothing major stands out. Overall looks like a very clean example from ZF.

Since ZF is known for having index and bezel alignment issues on these Tudor Black Bays, I might just be overthinking this one a bit out of extra caution.
Could you guys please take a proper look at the full QC album and let me know if you spot anything I missed? I’d really appreciate your guidance before I give the final Green Light!
Thanks a lot for the help!

Blue Talisman

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. I recently bought the Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman from Reddit and I’d like to confirm its authenticity. I’d really appreciate your help.
