Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but some nice deals at the Longines online shop for those of you who are Stateside. A fairly eclectic selection, not many of the greatest hits on sale, but looks like there are still a few interesting models still available:

Never really super liked this one but that's a hell of a price.

Good call -- those have a really nice chrono action. Some sales here in Canada but close to -25% than the prices available Stateside.

I rather like this one (which may be the one to which you're referring) ...

Quite a deal for a pretty neat watch.

I actually went with this one. https://shop.us.longines.com/watch-...ongines-column-wheel-chronograph-39mm-bf.html

I really like that single pusher chrono too, though. It was actually recommended to me by a woman at the Longines boutique in NY when I told her I was looking at these heritage column wheel chronographs.

On that note, if you’re ever in the NY financial district, stop by the Longines boutique in the Oculus and speak with Marie. She’s very passionate about her work and I really enjoyed speaking with her. One of the better boutique experiences I’ve had.

@sonicosa @mswilks I’m now curious to see what you were posting but your links have expired. Any chance for a picture to attach?

Yeah, I actually tried to go back a couple days ago to try to find the specific model but it's not even showing up on the main website when I search for chronographs. It was a very classy looking single-pusher (gold case).

I thought the watch you were referencing was the 180th Anniversary watch, but maybe I'm wrong, as this is a steel case (although it does say stainless steel in the link you shared):

and here is the watch I picked up (not my picture):

Ah ... I think you're right. I was thinking about the gold one that is in the Monaco auction.

Here's an overview of the different 180th Anniversary variants. I think they're terrific.
