Horological Meandering

My interest in watches started when I was about 9 or 10 years old when my grandfather asked me to wind his (at that time already vintage) Longines for him every morning... I am currently "test-driving" this watch here to see if a PP 5296G with sector dial...  

Some days ago I stand in the front of a watch shop's display window and paid attention to that model's beauty.

Advertisements for that watch pop when i browse watch fora. Did you also get those ads?

Here is a picture of mine: Best, Gerard ...  

Longines is the greatest. Wrote this, it is a personal watch opinion from my side. Longines did always what they think that this delivers the best watches. See it in the dials, glass, straps. Strong and elegant. Use them on the go, to a dinner, and by wel... 

Is it manualwind? How thick is the case?

The case diameter measures 38.5mm with a lug to lug span of 46.5mm. The brushing is superbly executed and the edges of the cases are very crisp and refined. If I had to pick a strap myself, I could not have picked a better one than what Longines offers. ...  

Agree. Gorgeous. And you don’t have to give your arm or leg . Lol

I have a feeling you will like the Patek 5296 sector dial. I’ve seen in person and it certainly can dress down or up. Leaf hands on a sector dial make me smile.

I like the esthetics of the Longines much better than the Patek. It’s has a cleaner dial and a true sector dial as well.

This was MY first longines ever as well (after 15 years of collecting). I’m not into vintage and other modern Longines did not inspire the way they did this model really speaks to me. Have fun and wear in good health. ...
