Longines Hydroconquest

Changed the two tone bracelet to a black leather as too blingy. So much better to wear .. gets alot more attention from onlookers.

Problem is you won’t be able to use the signed buckle on a thicker strap 😫

Yes I got an after market one as the lug is 21mm but a pain to get on and off. I dont think the pics give it justice on the leather strap. It may be 41mm but its got a vintage vibe on the leather. Thanks for the suggestion

Love the Seiko tank .. I found the leather strap too thin as it tapered down to around 14mm.

I have the same issue with my cream dial version but I believe it’s the single dome sapphire crystal. It should really have been double domed as destortion is minor compared to the destortion on a single dome.

Tried this on and loved it but couldn’t bring myself to pay over £1700 for it . Vintage options can be picked up for £500 in pretty good condition.

Yes I agree .. I changed the metal strap for a leather thinking it would make the watch look smaller . After a few days I just couldn’t handle the lug length any longer. They say the lug length on the new 43mm are shorter but still around the 50 mm mark lug to lug. Those with 6.5 or 6.75 wrist size will still find the watch too long. I really think Bulova should have carried out more research on the ideal sizing of the new version… 48mm lug to lug would have been ideal which would fit the majority of wrist sizes.
