This or that? Longines Spirit 37mm vs IWC Mark XVIII LPP?

I personally like to buy watches that all can be a 1 watch collection on its own, so honestly personally I'd go for either the Explorer 1 or the OP.
Something simple and timeless that you can wear day in and day out. Between the two it'd a coin toss but I'd likely choose the Explorer 1 for the Mercedes hour hand.
Good luck!
fair choice my man, you really cant go wrong with either! Enjoy your watch and wear it in good health. Looking forward to seeing some wrist shots :)
It looks like you're after a blue dial piece with high polish cases. Both are excellent picks, but my pick goes to the Panerai.
Both have very unique case shapes (44GS and the Panerai Crown Guard), and the Spring Drive arguably is the better movement compared to the Panerai's P6000 manual wind. It comes down to what you like in a watch, and for me in my collection I already own a Grand seiko and I am after a Panerai, so that is where my pick will go
i hear you and that makes a lot of sense, but how do we then navigate the brand and model conversation once that is added back into the mix, or are you suggesting that i leave brand and model consideration out? thanks!
yeah defo mate, i can definitely see the 36mm being a good functional dress piece, but as a toolish watch it is a bit too shiny hahaha.
thanks for that, i actually have and the only reason why its not on my mind is because it has a lot of polished surface compared to the LPP 40mm, i would prefer a mostly brushed/satin finished case haha.
