I just bought a Longines from Jomashop and everything was 100%. The original box, hang tags, etc were all included as well as the Jomashop warranty.

That is the only difference here. Jomashop is a true 'Gray' dealer so manufacturer warranties will not be honored. You will have to take care of any issues through Jomashop.

I'd be hunting up one of these:

For a runner up it would be one of these:

They made some really interesting versions of this watch.

These two stand out:

It is the C-1T. Polished titanium case. What attracted it to me initially was the case shape. It is a very cool watch.

There is an agreed upon price cap with the MOD collection that CW has to adhere to. The Sandhurst bronze was never available as a package with the bronze bracelet even though it was always available on its own. This is because the bracelet would put the cost over the cap. A mechanical option would never have fallen below the cap.

Some interesting design choices with this one though.

The jury is out for me on having all three branches represented in this design. I sort of wish that they had done an aviation themed watch. I always thought that the military collection was missing a chronograph.

The numerals on the dial are an interesting throwback to the motorsports chronographs that CW used to do.

The MOD watches have an agreed to price cap. The bronze Sandhurst was never available to order with a bronze bracelet even though the bracelet was available at launch (you still can't order them together as a package). You always had to buy the bracelet separately so that the watch could stay under the cap. A mechanical chrono would have never made it under the cap.

Having all three branches in one watch was an interesting choice. I sort of wish they would have gone with an aviation themed version instead.
