Which one to go for?

Our family has a weird passion for Longines. Everyone in the family - grandparents, parents, cousins - has at least one Longines, except for me. My mom owns three Longines actually... Now, there are the two watches from Longines that I really like and probably make a purchase by the end of the year: Option 1, Heritage Flagship Moonphase : Blue dial, Moonphase and date, 38.5mm diameter, 12.4mm thickness (photo: aBlogToWatch) Option 2, Master Collection Small Seconds: White dial with blue hands, engraved dial, 38.5mm diameter, 10.2mm thickness (photo: SJX Watches) There is a $500 price difference between those two, but that really does not factor in for me. Also, the resemblance of Option 1 to JLC Ultra-thin Moon does not matter to me. What are your thoughts?

I voted for the small seconds watch. I really like both, but unless it's a watch you wear daily, it will be a pain to keep the moon phase set correctly.

B as it is thinner, has a nicer dial and hands in my opinion and has no date.

·

I’m no help here. Those are both terrific watches. You can’t go wrong here.

The moonphase if it’s apart of your rotation; master collection if it’s not 👍

A moon phase is almost totally useless and I love them. It’s romantic.

Agreed.

Both absolutely killer

Good with the moon phase. It calls out to me more for some reason.

·

I have the salmon dial. It's great.

You can't go wrong with either of them really! great stuff

·

White dial with blue hands gets me every time!

·

The master collection should be named master pieces collection because they are exquisite, but the new Flagship Moonphase totally got me 😘🤌🏼

Both are fantastic watches. The Longines looks like a Hamilton I own.
