How about a Longines thread?

 

The famous winged hourglass has graced many beautiful watches throughout the years.  I think their watches from the 1930s-1960s were very appealing as a whole.  Calibers like the 13 ZN and 30 CH power vintage chronographs to die for; watches like the Conquest have enduring good looks; and then there are the original compressor-cased divers.  Some people call the originals a poor man's Polaris, but I think they are attractive in their own right.  Prices for the original Longines divers from the '60s have skyrocketed, but the faithful reissue can be had for a fairly reasonable amount.  I know there are several PuristS with Longines Legend Divers, so I invite all those folks and anyone else with a Longines, modern or vintage to post.

Cheers,
Daos

Can we start a clean thread?

Longines is a great suggestion! Thanks for your enthusiasm, Daos. Can we start a new thread titled "MPT: Longines"? The Librarian in me wants to be able to index this series in the future. And in the meantime I will dig out a photo of my Longines Transfor... 

Some ideas …

There are many brands that I see popping up here and there that would be good to cover: B&R, Sinn, Baume et Mercier, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Chronoswiss, Ikepod, Maurice Lacroix, Oris, Tissot, Universal Geneve and Zenith, to name a few. And we could do rela...
