Soliciting owners’ reviews of the Longines Heritage Classic Sector Dial: talk me off the ledge, or tell me to take the leap of faith.

I have an opportunity to buy this timepiece from an AD at a decent price.
I had been drawn to the piece ever since it was launched, but every time that I saw it in the metal, the case finishing and strap left me cold. I’m not expecting it to be a dufour simplicity or anything like that, and the strap shouldn’t be a deal breaker with today’s aftermarket, but the lack of alternating brushed/polished surfaces and the long lugs kinda bothered me. Other than that, the dial and hands are beautiful, and the movement is great (especially for the price)
Any WPS members who have owned this piece?
Appreciate any input
Happy New Year to all
Hussam

I, too, love this particular Longines...

I’ve thought about purchasing it many times. I ultimately bought a Baltic HMS to satisfy the Sector dial itch. Maybe check it out and see how you like it?
Actually and purely based on aesthetics...

The Baltic can be a little nicer. The dial is cleaner (no sub-dial and broken 6) and the hands are a little prettier as well. As to Miyota, I've had a couple and never had an issue with them. Can't say that Miyota is better or worse than an average ETA or...

Dear Hussam, IMHO

I never would buy a watch if something about it „leaves me cold“ or „bothers me“. So - for me - you have already answered your question yourself. Leave it and save the money for a watch that you really love and that makes your heart beat faster every time...
Totally agree.

If there are things that bother you, you might like it for a week or month, but long term you seem to have answered the question for yourself already. Best, AH
Yep. 100% agree. I act the same!

Love the dial and the hands! The movement is great! The deal breacker for me was the case (too)... 🤷🏼♂️
No 🤷🏼♂️☺️

It’s very good!

I owned it but flipped it later. It is very charming - definitely worth having ...
have you thought about JLC Sector ?
By: Gelato Monster : December 30th, 2020-18:32
They are 25th Anni Edition so i presume would be quite limited. Personally the sector geographique is my favorite, then the sector chronograph . I dont like the date period. ...
Agreed!

Thanks. Will check it out.

The Patek is in a different price bracket. Need deep pockets for that 😁
I love it

That sector dial is very attractive. It reminds me bit off the sector dial in the JLC series. Congrats wear it in good health
