The Longines Legend Diver is a very interesting re edition.

In fact, there were two re editions: One without Date, which is THE faithful re edition, and one with a date, for those who only swear by the date.

The No Date is a superb and great Watch, a bargain for what it is, I must say.

And I am not disturbed at all to see a " common " ETA automatic movement housed in it.

When it comes to Chronographs, things are much tougher to discuss. I very wel know the one you are speaking about, which was, indeed, and AFAIK, the last 30 CH ever produced.

The " Tribute " is a pale copy, in my opinion. The date kills the dial, and the movement is a crime against the original.

But it is just my opinion, and some who don't care about movements will certainly appreciate it. Especially the Date Fans.

Best,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas, I think you're right - the best part of the classic Longines chronos is the movements. I've been on the look out for a really nice 30CH (thanks to Ubik for his advice) and I even know that I want the 7413 model from the late 1960's. For me a L...
