I just had mine for like 6months & it's being rotate among my other watches. I dont have any issue so far with it. On the chronograph usage, i didn't try to run it full time before. Longest I timed is 3hrs.

Similar story here. I've got two Longines column-wheels and I rotate them with many other watches. I don't let the chrono run.

If you've found a good deal like this from an AD, I'd jump on it. It's a gorgeous watch!

Sometimes, I would leave the chronograph running overnight and I've never had any issues.

Enjoy your watch! It's a beauty!

Very nice! Good pick

Catching the last bit of daylight through the windows. I've had mine since 2014 and definitely have been a couple of times when I left the chrono running. Haven't had any issues.

I will probably let the chrono work full time, since it has a column wheel clutch.

You probably mixed up the vertical clutch with column wheel. Vertical clutch is the one where amplitude doesn't fall with actuation of the chronograph function and exert additional wear to the mechanism.

This longines caliber has a column wheel which makes chronograph buttons feel more solid when pressed. But it has a regular lateral clutch with meshing of wheels when chrono function is engaged.

Yeah...since then I found out that the movement doesn't have vertical clutch.

My bad!

How does this watch's lug to lug compare in size to the SKX009/007?

Hardaway · Mar 6, 2019

Is that the OEM strap? Really like the pairing.

The lug to lug is about 49mm.

Oh thank you, I just got one and it looks even better in person. I thought it would be too big, but I think it fits my wrist perfectly. So worth it.

Greetings all,

This one arrived yesterday, to my delight. I've been consitently drawn to comtemporary renditions of vintage pieces and this is one of the nice examples I have come across.

On the wrist, it definitely looks and feels like something comfortably above its actual price point.

Colour me happy.

Hey gang, I'm quoting several of you to ask what packaging came with this watch? I'm thinking of picking one up from my local dealer (good guys) but they usually just grab a regular Longines box for their watches. If there's a special box I'd like to know beforehand so I know what to look for. And if they don't have it for some reason, then ask for more discount.

You can check my post for the package, as I have mine for sale

Yes I noticed that. Any particular reason you're selling? (Not that we need a reason...I buy/sell all the time, including 3 previous Longines chronographs.)

And I see yours came in the regular Longines box, which is fine. I just know some of the heritage watches come in a special box with a name plate.

i.razvan · Nov 12, 2019

The one and only reason is that I am reconsidering (ain't we all do this?

) my entire collection and want to resume for the moment to only 2 watches, an explorer and a submariner as they both are on my radar for far so long.

Since I've got the explorer, I hardly ever worn the other watches, so that's that

.

For now at least...

I hear you brother! Been there, done that.

Oh, and the AD gave me such a good deal I didn't care about what box it came with. I got the standard Longines box which is fine. The watch is gorgeous but y'all already know that.

Just an update. I recently got an 114270 Explorer 1 and here's a picture side by side. I believe this Longines is going to stay in my collection forever.
