Woah. the new one is a straight clone! I love that this is available, even if the old ones are cheaper.
$4k is hard to swallow for me.

Yeah, Longines has been getting expensive. The recent Oct 01 increase of about 8%, and an increase last year. They were a lot of watch for the money, and arguably under-priced compared to the competition. But now they're no longer a bargain. The new flyback chrono looks great, and has a turning 60 min countdown bezel, but it's 5500. Still a good price relative to other brands, but not cheap.
This ultra is intriguing to me because it has the more traditional case and it's a new build. But the 4k is tough.
It’s a nice watch but the originals are downright cheap so I’d go that route myself…
But I’m a vintage guy after all.
I’m having a 4700 deal in my hand for the leather strap from my local retailer, will try it out in next several hours.
If it fit my wrist well, I definitely will get it, though I agree people considered it’s a lot of money for a Longines.
Unfortunately, I passed it.
The watch is nice, but the straight lugs makes it looked like sitting on my wrist.
Never know until you try it on. Some things you think will fit, don't, and things you think will never fit feel great.
Thanks for sharing.
