Watch obsessive and massive sucker for anything out of the ordinary. Favourite watch brand? Could never pick one. Grail watch for now, MB&F HMX Black Badger Blue.
Out of the two, i would pick the Longines. However if it was up to me, i would probably wait it out and stretch for a used BB41 Heritage or BB58. Also 70hr PR.

If budget is not part of the discussion, hands down I would have the Reverso Tribute Nonantieme. Has to be one of if not the most stunning rectangular watches i have seen so far.
For me personally, there are 3 brands that come to mind when i hear bang for buck and also at 3 different price points. Seiko, Longines and Omega.
The SKX was one of the most iconic watches in Seiko's lineup right up until discontinuation for $200. Can't think of anything as iconic with better quality out there for the price.
Longines is also killing it right now with all the models in their Spirit collection. The initial 40 and 42mm Spirits wore way too large because of the long lugs but now they've offered it in 37 as well, so glad to see that. Great pilots watch from a brand with so much heritage at the price point, not to mention the new Zulu time.
SMP300 Diver from Omega, arguably rivals the Rolex Submariner and at half the price. Rock solid build quality and feel on the wrist. Awesome finishing with the ceramic bezel, highly polished ceramic wave dial and sapphire caseback showing off that beautifully finished Calibre 8800. Nuff said.
However, if i had to pick only one then it would be Omega. Great value across their entire range, although that might change if they continue with their price hikes.
Also, my first comment on WatchCrunch and loving the platform so far. Keep up the good work everyone and best of luck for the giveaway.
