There is not much i do not like. But my other favorites are getting stronger. I belief Baume & Mercier is my new all time number 1. The Longines Legend you try is sublime. I own none, but it is a Longines that stays tru at the fundaments of the maison. If i was you, go pay and wear that watch.
I kinda wish it didn’t have a date, but that’s Not a dealbreaker. The band is super comfortable and it lays so well on the wrist. The bidirectional action on the internal bezel is very smooth and I’m a sucker for a blue dial. So far , there many more positives than negatives, but enjoy receiving different perspectives.
By the way, how did you feel it on the wrist? I ask this because of the quite long lugs it has. Cheers.
I love the green dial, but sadly hate how bronze ages. Sinn has an interesting new watch U50 that uses a gold mixed w/bronze material for the case ( kinda pricey 4-5K ) supposedly you can wipe with a cloth and it always looks the same. Cool idea, if it works.
