Nice review mate!!! I happen to own the champagne dial and I simply love it. All of them seem to run bang on. Mine runs between +/- 0 and +1 second per day. I actually don't mind the clasp. I think it's OK and quite comfortable. By the way the bracelet is held together with push pins. But they're very good quality and therefore they're perfectly OK.

That’s a stunning colourway, mate, great choice. The clasp certainly wouldn’t be a dealbreaker for me but doesn’t shine like the movement or dial. How long have you had yours now??

I bought one in November from "Ma - - - Ry's" in Bath and I love it a hundred times more than my Cartier or any of the others. I chose the stainless steel because I like the sound weight: the titanium is too light for a man of my generation: save that for the snowflakes of post 1980s! A fabulous watch!!! The price quoted here is exactly what I paid and well worth it too!!!

Thanks for the review on this. I also have smaller wrists and I love the size of this. It's also a really good looking watch in my opinion.

Nice review, great looking and wearing watch. One objection " The clasp is crapy " Real i don't think so. 19 mm is a bit irritating but given the size is on point. The bracelet as a whole is my opinion excellent, no on the fly only criticism. Cheers

Good review of a good watch - have had my eyes on this timepiece for awhile and hopefully can get my hands on a clean pre-owned one before long. Unlike you I am all alpha but reckon with my manly wrists I should be able to 'pull this off'! 😂

Nice review! But is it just me, or does it look a bit dusty under magnification? It looks like there is a ton of fluff and dust on the dial and it is especially visible on the indices.

@LumePip 8 ай бұрын

There’s definitely some very tiny blemishes that I do acknowledge, but it really is under a macro lens and very bright lighting that you see this. I don’t think it’s a dealbreaker personally, just because there’s a lot of other stuff going for it, but I guess for people who do like to get a Lupe out and look at their watches, it could be a bit of a fly in the ointment. But I did only notice myself once I looked back at footage

Great review as always. And listen, it’s not the size of the wrist that counts it’s how…, I can’t come up with anything. Sorry. With that said, it’s a beautiful watch. I really need to get away from dive watches this year. Thanks again!

Beg to differ. I own an BB58 and went to an AD to buy the Spirit. Apart from the dial (which is amazing) the watch is underwelming to say the least. The case is adequate, perhaps okay for the price, but the bracelet is poor. Thin, rattlely and with sharp edges. If you consider this watch please check it out in person, dont just buy it online...

Great watch, I've got the 40mm in silver dial. It's a fantastic watch, but the bracelet is absurdly cheap, looks it, and in hand/on wrist absolutely feels it; if it was even close in quality compared to the Tudor bracelet, I'd say it's a clear win, but frankly, it falls very far from the Tudor quality and feel.

It's such an awesome watch, I bought the titanium version, it's 40mm but on my 7" wrist it wears so well. It also fixes some of the issues, the titanium bracelet is excellent, the crown is screw down, and no date window

@fjdcwc832 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the review! The watch is great but the hair on the 11-marker and the scratches in general on the hour markers (especially on the 12) are a bit surprising at this price range.

@ronpower7790 8 ай бұрын

The Ranger feels much more substantial, not meaning the size...the bracelet is so much better on the Ranger...otherwise the 37 mm Longines wears rather like an 36 mm watch, which might bother some. The Ranger is a much larger watch, more so than the 2 mm difference suggest. Personally I was underwhelmed by the Longines.

@LumePip 7 ай бұрын

I agree, definitely a better bracelet, and clasp, no doubt, but I suppose you do pay a wee premium for that. I'm not sold on the Ranger's arrowhead handset either, though... Different strokes and all that! I'd rather have the 500 quid extra in my pocket, too 😅

What’s your wrist size, how many removable links left after you size the watch. My wrist is 15cm/5.9 inch, do you think it will fit my wrist. Thanks

Hey this is my watch. I have a 6 1/2inch wrist and there are 4 links left to remove. And I'm on on the middle of the micro adjust out of 5. I think this would fit your wrist very well.

A display caseback something I’m normally very into, but it would likely add to the thickness, and in this case, I think the lack of height is a real plus!

Nice Review! I own two Longines watches but for this model I opted for the Pagani homage. It’s 38mm, the bracelet is a little bit rattly and the details far from perfect. But it has 20mm lug width, a screw-down crown and I really don't feel the need for the original anymore.

@davidcrandall4958 8 ай бұрын

You haven't mentioned the movement! Does this movement have to be sent back to a Longines service center to be maintained and repaired( Or Do they Just switch out the movement)?
