I like it a lot but between my Rolex GMT, Baltic and Victorinox divers … no need for more.

I get it. This is an Omega forum. But on both WUS and the Longines reddit sub, talk about the new Hydroconquest is pervasive. I got caught up in it and ordered one for myself. The AD I ordered from said no one can keep them in stock. I ordered black with black bezel on the 3 link bracelet. Picture is representative only. Mine's not expected until next month. Looks a lot like an homage to a Tudor Pelagos.

On Reddit 90% of Longines posts are about the new HydroConquest

So true. I haven't seen a new watch release in recent memory that created this type of buzz and purchases

Very nice, indeed. Enjoy.

it appears that Longines is hot. Last winter my nephew wanted to get a good watch after having graduated from college, getting a good job, and then getting an even better job. He wasn't ready for the cost for an Omega, so here is what he bought:
The kid did pretty well I think.
Nice watch - I’ve had that on my wish list for a while

Tissot PRX. There were very few modern, affordable integrated bracelet watches available when that came out and I think it sold REALLY well. Or at least well enough that they quickly pushed out quite a few dial/size/movement/material variations soon after.
