Roast this watch!
Please, give us your opinions about it! It is very hard to find negative points about this Longines! Could it be the definitive pilot's watch? Should it be in a smaller size? Is it overpriced? Is it faux patina a hit or a miss? Would it be better with a handwind movement? Have all a great day! Cheers!
Do you know the backstory to this piece?
RAF 6B/159
My fiancée got this for me on my 30th and it’s one of my favorite pieces to wear! So simple and elegant. Though I swapped the strap for a leather cognac piece and it looks pretty fly on a suit.
The dial is dirty... Need a new one... 😂😉
I like it too
Nice simple design. I really don’t criticize faux patina when it’s a palette issue. For example lume colour. It’s not faux patina, it’s old patina’d lume coloured. It captures a vibe. That said, what’s been done here with the dial, just baffles me. It reminds me of a watch they’d sell at Gamestop as part of marketing for a game series. Like a novelty piece. But that just means I wouldn’t pick one up. If you love it OP that’s awesome. You gotta go with what you love.

Beautiful watch as are most of the vintage Longines reissues. My only beef at this price point is - how hard is it to make a 100M resistant watch so that I would have to worry about it while doing dishes or in the rain?
I have this exact watch and I love it so much I want to hear your thoughts on it ! I haven’t wiped out the nato strap yet and from this picture it looks great in it. The leather is getting dirty so I might change it to the nato like yours
