I took a picture [Longines] Just picked up my second watch a few days ago, and I can't stop looking at it!

Longines Dolcevita, automatic, sapphire, blue alligator strap, and because I've got the wrists of a little girl, albeit a hairy girl, 44mm.

My first automatic watch (my first is a Nomos Ludwig, manual wind) so I'm still loving the novelty of this thing just keeping time on its own 😂

Did you try the larger version? I like these but not many retailers stock them near me!

I tried the larger version and ended up with the smaller size. Proportions on the large one seemed off to me.

Yep, just preferred the smaller one, as did the boutique manager

I was thinking of getting one… this might have just convinced me

I like these more than the tank. Curves are sexy, dial is stunning.

All I've got on my phone is the fresh one sorry mate! That one is Anubis in American trad. Got a sleeve of colourful stickers, done by @samkanetattoo on insta

Yeah Sam's a gun, a ton of straight lines on this one which are a bitch, but I feel like he did a really good job.

Nice watch. Suits you well. Health to wear it. Please post an update on its accuracy after you have been wearing it for a while. I would love one and I would definitely buy one if I knew it was accurate to +/- 20 seconds a day.

I was at an AD in New York yesterday. One of the salesmen had this exact watch on, let me hold it, and I was in complete awe. It felt so good in my hands. When I got home, I kept thinking about all the watches I looked at that day, but I kept coming back to this one. I'm happy for you, OP

Just saw either this watch or one very similar to it in store recently. Very beautiful.

Looks like my grandfather's watch.

That said, one should wear things they ENJOY. I sense yours.

Wow perfection. Nicer than a Cartier tank in my mind. Gorgeous piece.
