I bought this watch new from an AD on New Year’s Day in 2024 (have proof of purchase). It was sort of an impulse buy. I had just recently gotten into watches but I didn’t know anything yet and the lug to lug is just too much for my small wrist. I would keep it if it weren’t for that. Selling to fund another watch.
In the interest of full transparency and on the topic of not knowing anything I almost immediately caused an issue with it. Pretty sure it was the date wheel. I sent it in to one of Longines official US service centers and they fixed it right up. I still have the paperwork from that service that I can show any potential buyers.
After that embarrassing error and while it was away for that service I educated myself on mechanical/automatic watches and did not have any further problems. After I got it back I wore it sparingly (did not wear it at work) but I did wear it and it shows signs of wear.
The longest continuous period I wore it was for one week (7 days) and it averaged +2.14 seconds a day, within COSC specs of -4/+6 seconds per day.
The last time I wore it was in late September of 2024. I did not have any issues with the watch. That said, when I decided to sell it in December of last year I wanted to give any potential buyers peace of mind so I sent it for a full service to one of Longines official US service centers. I got it back earlier this month and have not worn it. I have the paperwork from this service as well.
Reference number is L3.810.4.53.0
More information on the watch can be found here (same watch but with bracelet):
www.longines.com
I’m asking $1650 shipped & insured CONUS. Comes with box/cards/tags. It had a cloth with it but I misplaced it. The flap of the box came off. Thanks in advance. Please communicate via PM. LISTED ELSEWHERE AS OF 4:32 pm 1/31/26
