This one caught my attention!
Not a W&W release but was able to see it in the flesh today. I always appreciate vinage inspired Longines
I did not buy it yet but will most likely do eventually

I absolutely love new releases that have a vintage look. I’m terrified to go down the Vintage slippery slope.
That is a very attractive Longines, the shape of the indices are perfect.
A really nice model!

Oh ok, my mistake. You meant the one with gold indices and time only (dateless)
I meant the one with power reserve indicator...they make it only in 38.5 mm.
That’s a wonderful watch dear friend Yacomino! Full of vintage vibes.
Longines makes a great job with their reissues of past models. You already own several of those vintage inspired models and this one would be a great addition. Interesting to see that they decided to opt for a no date version! I feel this old watch in my ...
That would be nice!! I hope you’ll find…
… what you have in mind. In any case it will look great with a good set of leather straps ! Best cordial regards Abel
Yes, thank you Nicolas. It is in very nice condition and the gold has gathered a beautiful blued hue in some parts which adds charm. Not easy to catch in photograph that detail!
Perhaps you can view it in the bezel at three to five sector in this picture. It would be easy to remove with just a light rub with a polishing cloth but I prefer to keep it as is. And on the lugs too: ...
