r/Longines

Finished my grad degree. That was 2.5 years of grinding after work and not having much of a weekend and social life. Not sure how people with kids and a job do it (round of applause to all you folks who have gone through that).

My wife was a huge help and supporter while I was in school and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without her. She gifted this to me this weekend as a graduation gift. Absolutely spectacular. Been eyeing this thing since they launched the 39mill and she paid attention to my watchnerd talk!

What a surprise. What a wife. What a cool watch.

I ain’t ever goin back to school….

I decided to take photograph and edit a picture of my watch with a nice camera, what do we think of the shot? I am new to photography as I find the hobby to be really interesting and fun, so any thoughts on this would be cool. I honestly would love to get into watch photography more.

Really feel like this watch is often forgotten (not seen much on social media etc).

Sure it's a busy dial and not to everyones taste. It might be a little dressy for some. Certainly rarely see a black dial.

I personally love mine. It's not my everyday watch. That's a diver with multiple strap options according to how I feel and built well to take whatever the world throws at it. This is my special, romantic, classical watch that I enjoy it more for doing what it is doing in a subtle, quiet way.

I bought this old Longines pocket watch today. The guy was selling it for 14k gold filled scrap weight. My research indicates it was made around 1882 and has a 21LS movement with lever set. It is working well and has been running all day so far and its still on time. So im pretty happy with it.

Would you keep it as a novelty or would you sell it and put the funds towards something else? I think its too valuable to scrap...

I don’t wear it often, but it’s a beautiful piece. 35 mm diameter.

What do you think about the date window matching the 6 and 9 o’clock markers?

For me this is the best watch I own, I’ve spent a stupid amount of money on straps but the sad thing is that the first strap I got for it is actually the most perfect one.

While so many people ( rightfully so) buy the new hydro models, this for me is the perfect minimalist Longines that just gets better every day.

Hello, I have bought this watch on the secondhand market and made sure to check it very well to see if it’s not fake. I am not sure if it is authentic since it had no box or papers. Nevertheless the watch weighs and feels great, but the reddish hue in the logo is bothering me, it looks worse in real life. Can anyone propose a solution to this please ?

This gorgeous watch is highly underrated. Hard to capture in a photo. It really catches the light. Retro cool 1950s Mad Men vibe that dresses up but is still sporty enough for daily wear. The color goes with everything. Very comfortable bracelet that is similar in feel to the Omega Aqua Terra but has the advantage of OTF micro adjust. A nice step above the Conquest if you’re looking for something a little more elevated.
