Wow, those are two very sexy watch faces. I am giving the edge to the Longines based on the images. I have seen Presage dials in person and they are stunning so the picture may not be a good representation. I find the date window as an obstruction and although the font is the same, the Longines interpretation of the number four is sexier.
It's a hard choice for me but I'm going to have to say Seiko.
1 the dial
2 the date complication
Woof. Tough decision! I have a similar decision on my hands right now. I’m trying to decide on the Longines Conquest, or the Seiko Alpinist!
Due to my own indecisiveness, I couldn’t vote. I can’t help you here either. I kind of suck.

I know right… plus this will
Also kinda “complete” my enamel/porcelain collection

Such tough lives we have right!!?? 😁
No date and Brequet numerals?! Yes please!

Yes, longines have a cleaner look 🤔
They’re pretty nice on both counts here. I like the dial coloring on the Seiko for sure but the date is a drawback. Add a substantial price difference and I think I’d go with the Longines. Couldn’t fault you for picking either though.
Two good pan dials, but going with Swiss because it has no date.

No. Stop this.
You were having a rest and now you’re sniffing around an Omega and a Longines like you haven’t seen a Swiss watch in the wild.
Put the Seiko down as well, you don’t need that either.
Totally good on either one
But -
I’m a date guy and always slightly regret every time I get a watch without one. It’s the life I lead and when I retire that may change.
The dial on the Seiko will melt your brain when you look closely at it and it’ll be more striking looking from a distance as well.
But that price difference is big, so if no date and a simple colorway works for ya, then it’s Longines.

You don’t wear watches on your foot, you can’t blame this nonsense on an appendage that lives in a shoe.
I’m full of them - leather straps will work best, or maybe NATOs (you’ll be thankful of the double-strap). Swiss in the front, reliable Seiko to the rear. Remember to jiggle, keep them wound.
NEXT WEEK ON WEAR IT WITH PORTHOLE - Casio G-Shock, and can you really use it as a hammer when you forget your toolbox. Same time, same place.
Muahahahaha!!!
Unusually fore I go with the Swiss watch in this case as I prefer the white dial.
Blue hands
The white dial of the Longines SCREAMS class and elegance, and is also easy to read. (I said the same thing about the Tissot Classic Dream in my review.) And I haven't changed my mind; white dials are tops in my book.
Plus, the Longines is less expensive. I don't really care so much about the date complication; I can take it or leave it.
Follow your gut. Buy the Longines.
No date and $1k cheaper? Sold...
How about this and save yourself a tonne of cash, shop around and you will be able to pick this up for £1200 ish. Limited production as well.

I tried this watch with my AD is great looking but the strap is not for me! Trust me I posted this watch a while back esp. the old Laurel style and enamel dial, and I turned it down…

Strap change?
I vote for Longines. The position of the date on the Seiko looks rather ugly to me.
Strap change?
It has a weird lugs and small width hard to find replacements … I know it’s a shame.

Ahh, that is a shame. Sisley error to make in the design. Why on earth er they don’t start with the premise 20mm lugs is a good place to be I have no idea.
I think the Longines will last longer in the end and looks classier. The Seiko to me looks like it’s trying too hard.
the Longines is a little like plain white bread to me. But then this isn't my favorite Seiko along these lines. tough choice!
SARX029 Urushi
Or the SARX019
maybe something more. For less!
Man.. I can't choose. I love both!
