路Hello everyone!
I am the new proud owner of this absolutely beautiful Longines.
It is my first Longines and my first watch with a power reserve complication and I am certainly now under the spell of this brand! Whilst complex in design, it's balanced in a way that retains the elegance of the conquest line that we all enjoy, whilst adding the power reserve complication and what a real treat it is to experience. I never usually like dates, but the designers of this watch really understood what they were doing and created a coherent design that retains symmetry. Too often do date complications appear like an after thought, but not on this watch. It has quickly earned the position of my favourite dress watch within my collection.
I was also lucky that the seller had a time correct box for this watch, but I was wondering, how exactly are the watches meant to sit within this particular box.
As you can see in the pictures, when the watch is laid on top, it extends beyond the width of the box, clearly the strap is not original - this is from my collection. But all of my straps appear to be of similar length and fit the same. Should the watch be folded in half perhaps - this would seem strange as then half the box would remain empty and what are the little velvet bands either side - I take it the watch threads behind these? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps it is just not the right box for this watch, BUT I can't find any of my watches that would fit within it longways so I'm really not sure! haha
Also whilst I am here, I am looking for a stainless steel Longines buckle if anyone knows what one would be correct for this watch and where I could perhaps find one!
Thank you all and take care 馃榾
