Thoughts on the Longines Dolce Vita?
Crunchers, anyone out there with experience with the Longines Dolce Vita ref L5.512.4.71.6 ladies' quartz watch (23mmx37mm)? If so. I'd appreciate your thoughts on the watch.
I'm eyeing it as a gift for my daughter who turns 25 next month, but haven't seen one in the metal, so to speak. While she's not really too much into watches, I think it would fit her sense of style.

It’s a beautiful and elegant watch!
I was also looking into this model before purchasing my vintage tank vermeils (which I've since gifted to my daughter and my wife). I loved the guilloche dial and how the case curves around the wrist, but thought it could be thinner so it could slide more easily under the cuff, specially since it had a quartz movement. I decided to keep looking and ended up with a Bedat & Co. No. 7 instead. Such a beautiful and classy tank style watch that's highly underappreciated IMHO. Norman really loves his Dolce Vita, though, so I'm sure your daughter will appreciate one too! Heck, I'd have probably purchased one if I hadn't discovered Bedat & Co.

Great watch, also look into Frederick constant's take on the tank Americane.
