    I know it's not the vintage model, but I kind of like the look of this one:

    How much does one of these go for?

    I had the impression that they are a bit larger than the original but don't know that for a fact. Can anyone enlighten me?

    It certainly does look very faithful to the original, especially the caseback

    Listing says it's 35mm excluding crown. When I had a vintage one it was pretty much the size of a Seamaster.

    They're only a smidge larger than the vintage models.

    I really like the black dialed rose gold models. For a while I was considering the modern version for my Longines collection and letting it become vintage.

    At least they didn't mangle it like the pie pan re-release......

    If I were inclined our purchase a new Longines, that would probably be the one.

    Good call Kyle!

    These were available for $500 from overstock a couple of years ago.
