Which retail option do you prefer most?
I’m planning to purchase a brand new, unused Longines Master Collection Moonphase in the very near future. I’ve only ever bought from an AD historically though. Which option do you like best? What’s your experience been with these websites? Are they legit? Anywhere else I should be considering?

I use Chrono24 and Watchfinder for more expensive watches, Jomashop and eBay only for more affordable models/brands. Exquisite Timepieces also are good to deal with online for new and used from affordable to luxury.
I have most confidence and least stress with Watchfinder and Exquisite, for what it is worth.
I've had good luck on Chrono24 and eBay (with eBay's Authentication service).
But if you're planning to buy new, there are good Longines dealers with online convenience - e.g. Teddy Baldassarre.
*eBay*
By far my most preferred place to purchase.
Chrono 24 is the reason my parents are debating turfing me 🤣
*eBay*
By far my most preferred place to purchase.
I like eBay for vintage watches, honestly people have horror stories that I think would be solved with a little forethought and wariness, especially with the new(ISH) authenticity guarantee, it's a fantastic place to shop
I’ve used Joma many times and have always had excellent experiences. When I bought my Longines Heritage Central Reserve I bought it directly from Longines website because that was the only place it was available.
Reddit's Watch Exchange is the only place I buy.
