Longines conquest 41mm

Got this watch for my dad a couple of years ago and he really enjoyed wearing it but he recently admitted he’s not into automatic watches as I am and prefers his usual quartz watches.

He asked me to take this Longines back with me when I visit my them next - so I offered him an exchange deal.

I offered him my quartz Rado Diastar - that I got from my extended relatives as a wedding gift. Even he didn’t like that one and passed it on to my mother who finally liked the Rado 🤣

So yeah, excited to add this to my collection!

Tried a couple of speedmasters while getting my Longines hydroconquest bracelet resized and man I’m in love with these.

Always assumed these would be way bigger on my 6.3 inch wrist but was surprised by the fitting of the professional especially.

I think this might be my next watch. See yall in a few years lol

Netherlands visa interview date - 05/01/2026 , NYC

Passport received via FedEx - 06/09

Just got my visa. Really excited to visit Europe for the first time. I got a Netherlands tourist visa a few years back but couldn’t make the trip.

As you can see in the photo, it says multi. Does that mean I can take multiple trips before expiration ? As long as total duration of all the trips stay under 90 days?

Also,My initial itinerary consisted of 6 days in Netherlands and 4 days in France.

Since I got a much longer visa than what I originally expected, can I add a destination to my itinerary ?

I was thinking of visiting Berlin, will it cause problems if I wanna visit this time or should I plan a separate trip for Germany ?

Thanks

Good to be back. Some of you might remember my older id if not consider this my first post on this sub :)
