This is frankly a quite a bit better deal than the Black Bay 36, though I suspect the steel models will get the same update as the S&G did last year, which will make it hugely competitive to the Spirit. I love the many micro adjusts (quick adjust would be great, but not everybody is Monta), the bracelet is more interestingly finished. The little details like the diamond on the second hand going over the diamonds on the dial are great. 72 hours of power reserve (while not using 3Hz like so many other Swatch group watches) AND COSC is just the chef's kiss. The 37mm size and champagne color make this a great unisex watch. I would like to see more champagne dial every day watches out there. I have tried the black 37 on bracelet on and while it's a touch smaller than I personally prefer, I could pull it off. The 40mm works well for me, but I don't like the date. That's okay though, because I really like the titanium model, which does not have a date. I have tried that one on strap, but have yet to find the bracelet variant in an AD yet. Longines is really doing some great stuff lately, and I think they deserve more respect. I hope they keep expanding this line. I think I will end up with a Spirit at some point, but I'm just not sure when.

I couldn't pull the trigger on the bb36. I tried many many times. I don't think its worth its price by a mile. The bracelet, I could never get a good fit. Removed one link, went out 1 micro or 2. nope. Added a link and went in a micro, no. Plus now they use the SW200 and they don't modify it like they used to with their shock absorbers and regulator. No AR coating is also a pet peeve on it. I think this year they will update the bb36 with inhouse, AR, and a T-link bracelet. Then I'm a buyer!
@RedwoodAggie
@RedwoodAggie Жыл бұрын
@@EscapementWatch Yeah, I completely get that. I personally found the BB36 too small for me (same with the new Explorer 36), but also found the BB41 to be bigger than I want! No Goldilocks moment. The lug-to-lug on the 41 was great, but the watch looked too wide, if that makes sense. They came out with a 39 AND 41 in the S&G and gave them more of an Oyster style case (lost 50m WR, but 100 is plenty). That and the new bracelet could get me to snap one up. My AD said the 39mm Tudors is the size where they sell the most models, which wasn't terribly surprising.
@EscapementWatch
@EscapementWatch Жыл бұрын
Yea the 39mm is a great option, makes sense it is popular. Yes the bezel on the bb is more flat and broad probably make it look wider. I found the explorer new gen to be a tad small. But 36mm OP and DJ's fit fine. I dunno why that is maybe the lug width playing visual tricks on my mind. 19vs 20mm. Or the large 3/6/9 shrinks the dial in comparison to the baton markers. or both factors.

@@EscapementWatch Now that the BBs (non-dive) have been updated, I wonder if it is a worthy (but more expensive) alternative to the Spirit. Both movements seem about equally accurate (MT5400 vs L888.4). The external AR coating of the Longines is perhaps a deal-breaker for me. Much prefer underside only AR coating.

This came around six months too late for me to consider when I purchased my BB36.

Gorgeous in champagnes and blue though. Great watch.

I have the exact same watch and I couldn't be happier. The question shouldn't be whether 37 is the new 36, because this doesn't matter. The essential point here is that Longines might be the new Tudor as the latter are upping their prices and Longines on the other hand continue to offer the best value in the entrusted level luxury segment. The bracelet Pins aren't pin & collar by the way. They're split pins, albeit quite high quality ones which I'm a fan of now.

I recently purchased this watch, but had to return it. There was some noticeable dust under the crystal and the diamond lume plots weren’t properly aligned with the cutouts. You can see the same issue on this watch with the diamonds by the 2 and 3 ( 1:41 ). My copy was much worse. Small details, but given how often you’ll look at the dial (it really is quite excellent) it wasn’t something I could overlook - especially when you’re spending over $2k on a watch. Honestly, Longines could just leave the lume diamonds off given how visible the numerals are. I ended up going with the Oris x Cervo Volante for a similar sized watch with an aviation theme.

It is not needed. It has same water resist and screw down crown doesn't increase water resistance. It just stops crown from becoming opened from a hit under water.

We have same wrist size. I have the 40mm version and I will mention what I prefer and not because I tried on the 37mm version as well. I prefer the screw down crown and the sand blasted hands on the 40mm version. I do not like the butterfly clasp. I felt the 37mm a little small on my wrist assuming this is a pilot watch so a pilot watch must wear a little bit larger-assuming my logic is right on this. The readibility on the black dial is just phenomenal and it pops out amazingly in every possible angle. My last thought: Longines should do this watch in 38-39 mm and not in 40mm or 37mm. But this is my thought which is subjective. PS We need a 39mm Legend Diver!

I like the Longines but they wear bigger than bezel size. Explorer proportions allows smaller wrists, and more wearable for women. Additionally, the Spirits is too busy that also doesn’t attract women wearer.

It is not a big deal. I've had a couple vintage watches with screw down crowns and half the threads are worn out. So it screws down in 1 turn or half a turn. I wonder if it will leak??? ha

@@bigmacdaddy1234 Longines is positioned below Omega in the market by Swatch. Also, Longines is one of the highest selling watch manufacturers in the world, I think behind 3-4 others. In fact, I would guess that Longines is Swatches second most profitable manufacturer behind Omega.

Nice watch, worst colour of the lot. Champagne and silver dials are always the hardest to read. I wouldn't want them on a sports watch. I would like to see the titanium spirit in the 37mm format. That would be a winner for me.

You should try it, it has longer lug to lug than other watches.. I went and tried them all, 40, 42 and 37.. I bought the 37 without blinking. It's something else, trust me. Another great option is the 40 mm in titanium, no date. It has a special pitch black dial with smokey gold numerals...
