    The difference is in the details with this one. Great finish and dial details.
    With accuracy like that, you can set it and forget it for over a week. 👍🏻

      @@HeyHabibsWatches haha, sorry. For me it was not a micro scratch as much as it was a 'spot', if that makes sense. If it was just micro scratch, I wouldn't bother, to be honest.
      Reflection is fine, you lose spme of the AR but it is okay. It has inner AR.

    I think you might have stopped winding after 30 turns. It’s basically 80-100% wound and after that you’re just putting a lot of stress on the stem. As it’s automatic, 10-15 turns is plenty if you are going to wear it.

    Longines are making some fantastic watches at the moment and the Spirit line are some of the best. I prefer smaller watches (no I’m not a child I just don’t want to look like a mobile phone salesman!). Why this rather than the Tudor Ranger? I’d buy this but I already have an Explorer 36mm so can’t find a good enough excuse.

    • @HeyHabibsWatches
      @HeyHabibsWatches  2 місяці тому

      Agreed brother. It more so a preference. I can easily pull this off in 40 mm but the lugs were a bit long so I went with 37mm. If prob prefer a 38 at least since it is a pilot watch tbh.

    • @HeyHabibsWatches
      @HeyHabibsWatches  Місяць тому +1

    Funnily enough, MAMACOO's replicas are perfect for people who can actually afford a luxury watch. Because in those social circles, it wouldn't matter and everybody would just assume it's real. You have a yacht and a beach house in Tuscany, of course that replica is real. There isn't a millionaire out there going around with a jeweller's loupe to scrutinize their acquaintance's watch. They'll just go "Oh is that a Patek? Nice, I should really get my hands on one of those, they look great."

      It would make sense that the ideal watch size is proportional to wrist size, but comments like this make me think that it must be inversely proportional to brain size.
