Very impressed after putting it on my wrist
Last friday we had a little GTG with more or less 30 watch enthusiasts.
As usual a lot of Rolexes, some Patek, some AP, some Omega and quite a few others
But most of all I was surprised by the one that probably was the cheapest
A 1700 euro Longines, new model, 40mm and an astonishing beautiful watch when put on your wrist.
I knew the watch but did not had it in my hands before, on the Longines website you see pictures but believe me ... you need to put this one on your wrist
And here a wrist shot, quick iPhone picture
Damn that looked good
As much as I like Patek ... there is not 1 single Calatrava I would even consider. Main reason for me is that they are often too small
Other reason, when spending over 25K on a watch, it has to be 100% perfect to me.
Well, This Longines has it all. Less than 10% of the Patek price, 40mm, and imo just unbelievable beautiful

Longines ...
I like the design but feel that it’s a missed opportunity. List of changes: Make the watch 38.5 mm Remove “Automatic” from dial Enlarge seconds sub dial Everything else is perfect 👌
The problem with the sub second dial—as with many watches that encase movements that were built for smaller cases—is that the distance between the second hand and the main hand are fixed. By the movement.
So Longines didn’t have much choice if they wanted to go with a 40 mm watch. Hamilton Jazzmasters have the same movement (ETA 2895-2) and a couple of them have enlarged sub seconds dials. They look ok at first glance until you realize that the seconds han...
My opinion is the same as a lot expressed on here...
....37.5, 38, it would have been something I’d strongly consider. The enlarged case just makes the whole thing look off. I had formed that opinion having seen photos online, but thought I might not notice it in person, but I tried one on and it looked eve...
