No problem. I never encountered this issue myself, but it could well be due to copying and pasting a picture rather than uploading it. If you inform Bill I’m sure they’ll be able to look into this👍

Longines Legend diver in bronze & green dial
Just arrived yesterday, after a 3-month wait. The bronze case has a great pinkish tone. I wish it would never patinate! Oh, that tall crystal! I had wanted a bronze watch for awhile, and this seemed a good opportunity, since I like the Legend’s visual des...
That is an exceptional new acquisition, congratulations!
Longines has been killin’ it with its offerings. This one, though, is next level.
Thanks for the kind words, Armis & Gelato
Odd, for some reason my photos have disappeared from my post. Well, I'll try again!
Thanks for restoring the 3 photos to my original message, Fab!
When I copy-and-paste photos, they appear properly in the message composition window, and when I first post the message. But then they subsequently disappear. Very odd. (I resort to that approach only when the photo uploader doesn’t work due to “Server ti...
I was lucky to see one at a Tourneau the other day... you got a fantastic watch👏
I'm wearing old faithful today ...
Can’t go wrong with the stainless classic, Brandon!
And I really like the medium-brown strap you chose for your Legend. Thanks for the nice comment!
Thanks, I just got the strap actually
Though I have had the same strap for many years but in 20mm. It’s the single favorite strap I’ve ever had, and I have had and have A LOT of straps
Oops, I forgot the most important attribute: NO DATE WINDOW!!
So the watch gets 10 Purist Bonus Points, right? 😀
Extra bonus points
20 points extra for the absence of a date window. 50 points extra for it is a Longines.
20 + 50 = 70 Bonus Points!!
Gee, if I get another 430 Purist Points, I'll finally win the Purist Snickers bar! Can't wait! A.N.
Thank you, Nico. I expected you'd like the No-Date part of the new bronze!
And your Legends are beauties.
completly agree with the reasons you like this watch. its great in many different ways and well balanced between retro and modern. I hear Longines
straps are quite bad, so your problem probably will be short lived 😉
"Bad straps" - I like your Look on the Bright Side approach!
Step 1: Oh, darn, my nearly new strap is wearing out. Step 2: Good! Now I can get a good one! LOL Ano "Got a lemon? Make lemonade" Nuevo
Congratulations with your new Legend diver
It is the wait worth. A bronze watch is on my program. A must have for every collector. The Montblanc 1858 geosphere is on my search annex waiting row. I know Longines is the old school sweet hard. I struggled putting straps on my Conquest, and luckily th...
Thank you, Weems
When the time comes, I will attack the strap change operation with my typical arthritic abandon. AFTER carefully taping the lugs, of course! Oh, if you ever get tired of your Reverso Rouge, call me. Like anyone would ever tire of that Reverso. And I'll lo...
yeah yeah
I mean the bronze geosphere. The waiting row is dominated by Richemont watch brands. Oh, sure, MB is also Richemont. Your Reverso, yep, Richemont.
