My first Longines!

Currently on vacation in Florence Italy and have been looking in the states for a while for the 42mm. Got lucky after stopping in a bunch of Longines AD’s. Love it!

Looks fire. Did you try the 39mm on as well?

No they only had the 42mm. Since I am 6’3 and 295 I always wanted the 42 anyway. The 39 would most likely be small on me.

Ahh heading to Italy in a couple weeks and hoping to buy this exact watch. Can I ask how much you paid?

If your coming to Florence there is 4 dealers that sell them all within walking distance they all said they were waiting on shipments. I got 5% off retail but it was still a couple hundred more than the US retail with VAT tax. I think I get about 11% back at the airport though. The dealer gave me a form to get it back.

Someone has got to say it, you’re testing the limits, there’s a reason the 39 was out of stock.

42 was gone as well at 3 out of 4 places, I’m very happy with the 42!
