Now at 39mm. Is this better than the 75th anniversary Seamaster release?

It's certainly tempting. Chronometer certified movement, flyer GMT functionality and good water resistance, all in a package that's a fraction of the cost of a GMT Master. If this had been available at the start of the year, I might have gotten this instead of my AT 38.5mm as I really wanted a flyer GMT watch but all the available options were too big for my wrist. This one would fit me. Anyway, maybe I'll wait a few years and then pick up a second hand one on the cheap.

At 39mm, it will certainly tempt a wider audience.

I have a 116710LN and the build quality of the Longines DEFINITELY gives it a run for the money, at 1/4 to 1/5th the price 馃槈

The 39mm Spirit Zulu Time is a home run (ok, maybe if they also got rid of the male end links). It鈥檚 the best true GMT in that range on the market by far.

The only issue is that it鈥檚 going to retail for CA$ 4,570 (inc. tax) when it comes out and I really don鈥檛 feel like paying five grand for it.
