      I agree but that’s how Swatch has chosen to position their brand. Longines has a lot of history but to be quite honest, it’s just too affordable of a brand to be respected.

    Absolutely loved this watch (the blue dial) in pictures and dreamed of it for so long. It was not available anywhere in my country. When I went to Qatar for the World Cup, I found it in one of the malls and got extremely excited. Tried it on and I must say I was quite disappointed. The chronograph hand was misaligned (I know, it can be adjusted) and I just couldn’t stand that big eye 😂 so it very quickly was dethroned as one of my grail watches. That being said, I’m glad you love yours!
