I purchased my first Longines over the weekend. A Spirit Zulu 42mm with black bezel and a dark blue dial. On a stainless steel bracelet. The buying experience was amazing. The rep, and I, chatted about watches and YT watch “influencers” for over an hour as I tried on 6 different models. The Zulu is a beautiful and interesting watch, and a great value. For me, an AP Royal Oak is not a watch I would wear. It reminds me of a Delorean 😅
