thanks for the clarification TheHobbit and chrisyen

seems like a lot of Panerai fansi also

by the way... since you mentioned lume... how big of a difference is vintage vs C3?

Brightness in dark?
C3 the brighter n last longer

Lovely watch. Monetary value is not important. What is important is that it gives you joy. That's what makes the watch 'valuable' IMHO.

Hmmmmmm... Interesting bracelet and bezel combo on a DJ

Looks cool btw, usually sees president bracelet and fluted bezel on a gold DJ. But this bark combo is much a rare beast.

Thank you for sharing

What I was wearing today during tea break,

terrenceterrence · « **Reply #9066 on:** November 24, 2013, 08:54:13 PM »

Longines 989/Lemania 8815 Hour Angle.

Now I understood why Nick Hayek gave this calibre to the house of Breguet.

Congrats bro... Lemania always produce great practical robust movement...

terrenceterrence · « **Reply #9068 on:** November 24, 2013, 09:57:07 PM »

It's actually Longines calibre 989.

Then the whole tooling and calibre rights was sold to lemania and then incorporated into the house of Breguet.

Longines 989/990 = Lemania 8815= Breguet 591 minus the modern hairspring tech.

In fact a whole host of other watchmakers used this calibre in their watches e.g. VH in his Antiqua.

That is why vintage in house longines is still very much regarded and holds its value quite good. Much like the UG watches.

When Swatch group acquired all these brands, a whole marketing strategy and positioning was planned out for each individual brand. Sad to see that Longines losing its lustre and glory after the shuffle.

Breguet gets Lemania, Blancpain gets F.piguet, GO a clean slate and eta for the rest.
