    That is a very handsome watch.

    I seem to remember by grandparents had an old travel alarm clock encased in leather that had a very similar styled face

    Handsome watch. I went looking for a price only to find out it was released in 2010 and is long discontinued though.

    Very nice and clean. I like the alternating numbers and markers.

    Still hoping you get a Pelagos in front of your lens one of these days ;-)

    I really like it.......and nearly guessed right, but that's what they all say!
    very interesting - slipped beneath my radar.

    Another great re-issue from Longines. Really like the brand.

    I think it's a near miss in terms of reissue:

    - really shouldn't have the date
    - a few mm too large

    But the blue hands are lovely things... (don't think it as bad as the date they put on the WWW reissue - that's a travesty..)

    I think of these as modern revamps rather than true reissues. Purposely larger and with date to appeal to more people I reckon.

    Nice clean looking dial and a wonderful strap too.
