got mine. I got the black leather strap one. Honestly not a fan of the strap. Feels cheap and not sitting on the wrist very well. Watch itself is beautiful. Really dig the look of it.
Absolutely beautiful. Did yours come with the spare NATO? Agree about the strap, though the one that shipped with my BigEye is surprisingly well-made and comfortable.
Yes, it comes with a spare NATO. I like the NATO better overall. I prefer the leather strap as a "dress watch".
That looks great. Maybe my favorite Longines re-issue / hommage. Will have to see one live at some point.
I have mixed feelings about this one especially the font used for the signature it feels too bold to me and not a reinterpretation of the 1940's signature. Almost looks like a redial signature as it is so bold. Will have to see one in the flesh.
Good luck! Mine is still backordered/non-existent. Really wish we could just order off the website in Canada. I do without the extra layers of mystery afforded by the dealer network.
They have 2 in the Bond Street boutique in London. Tried one on at the same time I tried the 1938. Nice, but not my colour. Might have been the light blue strap however. Nice watch at a good price however.
Thanks! I ordered the one with the black strap since it was available before the blue. I don’t intend to use either of the stock straps, but since both variations are the exact same besides strap color, I chose whichever was in stock. Looks like it’ll arrive after Christmas. Probably good considering how much I spent on friends and family this season haha.
Subtle and elegant indeed. And such a visually compelling dial that sacrifices nothing in terms of legibility. I’m growing old waiting for mine to show up....
