[Longines HydroConquest] Is this watch a good idea? (alien.top)

Help me out guys. I want to purchase a good looking S/G watch. Important for me:

good typography on the dial
at least some brand heritage
automatic
good quality bracelet
yellow gold not rose gold

The water resistance on this is a nice bonus but I could easily live with less like 10 ATM.

How do you feel is the look and quality of the bracelet? Is it easy to set the time with those high crown guards? Do you have an alternative suggestion?

Thank you very much ;)

If the Tudor Royal had better typography on the dial it would be a no brainer for a two tone.

And too bad the BB36 in SG is so comically overpriced

If you like smaller watches the Tudor Prince at 34-36mm is at a good price range. Also it’s solid gold in the bracelet, bezel and crown. Instead of wrapped gold you get real 18k throughout for around $2-2,5k.
