Longines Hydroconquest in Black

Post by reggie747 »

I don't have one but I do have a mildly warm desire for one.

It's a bit like the **** child of the C60 Trident (Bracelet) and the Orient Mako (Dial/Face).

I'm preferring the auto over the quartz.

What's the lume like ( I like a good lume see.... )

Does anybody have one round here they wanna tell us about its virtues ?

Thanks in advance

That's the one MM :thumbup:

How are you getting on with the C60 twinlike scratch magnet bracelet of all things and tell me about your adventures in "lume land" when the sun's gone down ? Any better than a standard Trident ?

Cheers

^ go for the newer version brushed bracelet, better proportions and maybe also better lume...

And they look better in blue imo

That's also very nice but not totally to my tastes (and it's about twice the price) :shock: :D

Greg,

The scratch magnet bracelet is still ( at this point in time ) fine, but I must admit that since buying it I've only worn it a couple of times. I was thinking about changing the bracelet for a Toshi or Steveostraps strap but I have read that the Longines bracelet can be a bit of a 'pig' to take off.

My adventures into 'lume land' are at this time non existent as the couple of times I have worn it has been daylight.

Regards,

Chris.

I had one of these in black. Quite liked it but wasn't keen on the two tone bracelet. I also wished I'd gotten the blue one because it looks better to my eye in that colour. Very good watch for the money though.

Cheers,
Jack.
