Hello,

I am very seriously considering buying this watch as a gift. Can anyone who owns it or has owned it tell me a little more about it? How does it feel on the wrist, how accurate is it, all that good stuff...

Many thanks!

I have the 41mm auto non-chrono in white and blue dial...and they are solid, reliable pieces. Both of mine get regular wrist rotation! For the price, you can't go wrong!

Thanks for the quick response, Mike. What kind of +/- are you getting normally if you wear them for a few days?

Longines uses a high-grade Swiss ETA. It should have no problem being regulated to +/- 1 to 2 sec a day.

I have a similar model with a grey/blue dial and bezel from 2008. I bought it because i never thought i would be able to get a Rolex. Very comfortable watch on,a heavyish feel to it with quite a broard bracelet. A very accurate ETA movement may i add and is as good as COSC limits. I am only selling mine as it does not get any wrist time as i have a TT Blue SubC. You will not be dissappointed if you buy this watch, a recommended buy.

No experience with that model, but as mentioned a high grade ETA is a solid movement.

Uh,...if you're gifting it I can PM you my address.

Haha, with all those Rolexes in your avatar you want a Longines!? My dad's 50th is coming up fast and I wanted to get him something that wasn't over the top (he will never understand spending more than a couple hundred bucks on a watch. Now, me on the other hand

)

I own this model and I like it a lot. seems to be a good fit for my wrist and reasonably priced. good luck!

Thanks for all the comments! I ended up going with this one since it will be more fitting for my father than the high contrast black and white...
