Longines Legend Diver vs Seiko Alpinist

Another day at the (home) office, another day desk diving in my favorite tool for the job, the Longines Legend Diver. I love the sleek supercompressor case with inner rotating bezel, the retro looks and Milanese mesh bracelet, the simple, classic shape and style, everything. Dresses up better than just about any diver I know of, but is still recognizably a tool watch and wears well casually, in the same way a well-finished field watch does.

This Seiko Alpinist is the 2020 version of one having a near 20-year run, but this one has a new internal 6R35 movement with a 70-hour reserve. You can read the reviews for the SBDC091. It's a beautiful watch with an eye-catching emerald face, a new cyclops magnifier for the date at 3 o'clock, excellent luminescence, and it is simply attractive all around. And, if you get lost in the green forest, you can use this watch as a crude compass! I really like it

This luminous line appears as an underline beneath the numeral at 12 O'clock above the numeral at Six O'clock and to the right of the numeral at Nine ...

The watch has run reliably and I have yet to have had any problems with it, so a very good watch to introduce me into the watch community! Everyone! Meet my seiko alpinist! She will stay in my collection for ever!.

I would look for a nice dress watch with a white face (I like the IWC Portofino or maybe a Cartier Santos) and something colourful like a Doxa or Bulova or even a vintage Seiko... [https://cdn

5mm: I'd seen and read a lot of hype about this watch during the early months of my watch addic-- er, hobby. Everything about the design drew me onto the hype train. I absolutely love the color green, and the gold indices and cathedral hands match the green of the dial so well.

Finally got a new strap for my Longines Legend Diver Heritage L37744506. I felt an NDC would be a pretty fitting compliment to a French Marine Dive watch being a strap made of French Marine Paracord.

But I’ve been wearing it all day and it’s growing on me. The strap is fiddly. I felt like I needed a third hand to get it on the first time but once you have it adjusted, the clasp works just like a metal bracelet. The only other thing I noted is that the leather is stiff near the lugs
