    Every time I check out one of your vids, I'm always blown away by your editing skills. The wrist shot comparison in the middle was well appreciated. The intro song and the outro song always make your videos so clean and tidy. Love the macro shots, and the way you talk throughout. Really like that you give both facts and your personal opinions. Wrist shots, accuracy test, everything. You are a true gem in the watch youtube space.

    A great video. This watch is already on my radar, as are a couple of others by Longines. A hard decision as I cannot justify or afford all 3, The others are the sector and tuxedo small seconds. This one is a very different watch to the others. It's times like this I need a 3 sided coin, or just use a dice :-). I need to see all 3 side by side at the AD.

    Got this exact watch (blue) last month and so pleased with it. Looks fantastic and comfortable to wear.
    Think I will change the strap though to a black vintage look leather. Blue strap is nice but black I think will be a bit dressier.

      @@EscapementWatch Thank you. I’m yet to see them in person but based on the lug-to-lug width of the 36mm, it might be a lot smaller than I prefer. Plus I truly love the dial design on this one that I would probably want the bigger dial. I foresee the bigger version on my wrist would be okay when worn with a nato strap. I just wish they have a 38mm version of this.

    • @EscapementWatch
      @EscapementWatch  2 роки тому +1

      for my 6.5inch wrist I have gotten used to 36mm as long as the lug to lug is 43-45mm with a large dial it has tons of presence. my 36mm grand seiko from the 60s wears like a 38mm. It is a gem! I think this watch will have similar effect. I might buy the 36 as well if they make a no date or date at 6 oclock in the future

    Definitely a great watch & very good value. However I think the Black Bay 58 is the best value proposition under $5,000 which will retain value better than the Longines & fit on smaller wrists. Do you have any plans to review a Chewda? I believe this is your nemesis brand ;-)

    • @EscapementWatch
      @EscapementWatch  3 роки тому +1

      But the 58 is a lot more then this legend diver especially if you get a discount. Which on the tudor you probably will pay RRP. I do not have access to any chewda's unfortunately. Nemesis brand lololol My sponsor is trying to become a Tudor AD so one day I might gain access. If that happens I can review them objectively and I'll leave my thoughts out of those reviews lol. Otherwise they wont lend in the watches lol.

    This watch, like many a Longines, is close to perfection but fatally flawed below the waterline. I bought a Longines Spirit 40mm late 2020. I loved the quality and the price. It ran very well and I enjoyed wearing it but I couldn't wear it all day long because of the leggy lugs. They are just too long and the same issue applies here. Plus it is far too big at 42mm. If they cut 2mm off the lug to lug and dropped the case size to 39-40mm they would have a total winner. I would be right there banging on the ADs door. Please Longines when you can do so much right why screw it up with some idiotic errors. Listen to people like me, who have bought your watches and would buy again and do what we ask.
