... with a new set of Milanese bracelet. I have been looking for a bracelet like this for some time. Presently Longines offers their own Milanese in their catalog but I found it too costly and very heavy. Now I have recently discovered this good quality v...  

Thank you so much Nicolas! Fully agree!

I wish I could find the non date version but when I purchased this one the non date was already discontinued. In any case I love this one and consider among the best re-edition of an old model ever offered! The straps or bracelet is just an additional to ...

Didn't know you had this Longines — very nice, looks comfortable, and the bracelet looks great with it! Not quite as thick as a 47mm Panerai 😉

Thanks a lot John! Yes, not as thick as Panerai indeed! Lol!!

I own this one since a few years now. I like it so much. I usually wear it with an aftermarket sailcloth straps with its OEM buckle but wished to add a Milanese for its vintage look. It is very very comfortable on the wrist. Glad you like the looks!! Chee... 

Perfect vintage style....

That’s a good idea 💡 ...

It is a very nice watch indeed, but owning three BB presently I feel well covered now, and feel the 58 can wait a little. Cheers! Abel

I am looking at this exact model to purchase. A lot to like with this one. Was hoping for a satin finished version, though. Cheers. Harvey
