    I've been gazing at the Longines Spirit, especially since they released the new titanium version that gives me serious Rolex explorer vibes from back in the day when they were not a financial investment, or a "please rob me" sign.

    But I have seen little to no threads discussing it on the forum.

    What are people's opinions on it? Does anyone have one?

    Alternatively, please let me know if there is already a thread on this.

    I like it but find it to be too big. Wish they made a 36mm version

    interesting, I’m used to 36mm myself. But my Dad’s Rolex explorer II is 40mm and that looks great

    I’ll go and check it out in person and see what it looks like on the wrist

    The Explorer II is a lot different watch, with a big 24hr numeric bezel. The regular Explorer @ 39mm is a better comparison. I like the Spirit, not crazy about the 5 stars...

    Im falling in love with the longines remakes esp the heritage chronograph 1946. Absolutely beautiful but kinda thick case spoils the deal for me. for your consideration. Dolce vita with line art deco dial also appeals to me
