Longines Hydroconquest L3..640.4

My latest purchase arrived today and it is NOT a Seiko  

I have been after something a little different but could not decide what I wanted so after a few pm's between myself and domecurb with ideas flowing he suggested a Longines and it ticks all the boxes for me , Blue dial with blue bezel insert a crisp and clear dial and easy to read handset including a little splash of red o the tip of the secondhand.

Clearly you have no taste

.and that my friend is cracking well done and enjoy your latest incoming , I think that is probebley the nicest in the longines range in my opinion wear with pride

Beautiful a conquest was my first watch purchase last year and tried to get a hydro but got sidetracked into seiko, but that has sparked my interest again, enjoy your new watch

That really is something special John, your quite right to be thrilled. 

The look, design and proportions, at 39mm, are all perfect and would look great on the wrist for whatever the occasion.
