was in the same boat a few months back and tried both. I loved the longines. The dial is just amazing and the strap is much better.

Can I also suggest to try the Cloud de Paris from longines. Loved the detail on side of the case. Sorry can't link up a pic for you, posting from an iPod.

Just like the looks of it more.

longines - like the curved second markers in the dial and the white contrasting stitching on the strap.

After owning a Longines piece a while back, it would definitely get my vote. By far my most missed out of all the watches I've flipped. The dial texture is stunning in person.

Something you should consider, Omega ref 2803.33.37

Fr John's AD will make you a good deal assuming these are still available.

Not my watch or photos.

great suggestion! was going to suggest this one too!

did consider it for me, but in the bracelet version. the Omega blue hands are just so handsome against the white dial... be quick, this one is almost impossible to get hold brand new - i had problem locating one



also, the Longines Clous de Paris as per my previous suggestion -

it comes in various styles, the ones caugth my eyes were the auto and power reserve versions.

Well...very similar watches with, I believe, ETA 2824-2 workhorse within...I`d go for Longines, I`m fan of their older chronographs!
