Longines wears horribly because of that chunky bracelet and wrist digging crown guards. Seiko wins this one hands down, no contest for having owned both and having a 7.5 inch wrist

I agree, the bracelet is not the most comfortable on the Longines. Slight taper would make this watch much more comfortable.

My Hydroconquest (ceramic) runs a tad under +1s/day. Doesnt matter if i wear it, sits in the winder, sits on the nightstand any way, sits upside-down in the bath tub, +1sec a day. A very consistent movement and i dont seem to be the only one pulling this kind of accuracy with the L888.

Between the two, I prefer the SPB143. Because I think it looks that much better. The only reason I can't buy one is because +25/-15 spd is too big of a variance for me.

@@timepieceofart I think there would be hundreds as there are just some things I don't accept aesthetically. For the Seiko it's the flat endlinks; the cut out for them is disgusting. And for the Longines it's the horrendous date window and the crown guards. Those crown guards just do not work with a more traditional case shape. Also, for the Longines, the case size to lug-to-lug is out of kilter.
