here's the brief unboxing session...
i got to tell you guys, this is a big yet heavy box i hv ever own as a watch box. the presentation of everything is really good.
here's the bottom compartment for the watch warranty booklet and the international warranty card with AD shopname preprinted on it.
open up, the watch is laying on it facing at its new owner... hi.. hotty! hehe...
the silver plate spell its identity clearly without exaggerating the name.
lift the upper part of the watch storage platform, a hidden chamber found! look what i found inside? THE BOOK OF EXPLOITS!
hardcover, big, thick story telling book - The Longines Sports Collection
here the non-frilled identity of the watch itself, a non-date Longines Legend Diver. measuring at 42mm without crowns... which is the size i like the most. 300m WR.
top crown controls the inner bezel... bottom crown for time settings. both are screw-in ofcox, it a diver watch anyway
another view...
and... another view... to presenting its identity
the back side... the diver with spear...
here's the oem synthetic strap with the solid buckle.. the buckle is kind of sharp that tend to 'cut' the strap... and the strap is kind of loose even with the tightest hole used. (but this issue has been rectified by longines on the latest date version, more holes offered).. but anyway.. i bought 2 hirsch straps (liberty and modena) the next day at pavilion. Got them at good discount price, since i bought 3 straps with them previously n i'm their member.
using the classic strap now... leaving the rougher aside as of now... lug is 22mm for LLD.
some side by side snap with the citizen i acquired in jp recently...
lume shot is a must... allow me... as usual.. lumibrite.. very bright.
and the stingy LLD lume...
overall, i feel great wearing it. i bought it pre-owned at a very attractive price which i never expect at all.
this will be the keeper for sure, i think i'm fulfilled... atleast for this few months.
hopefully i won't encounter any 'grail' this coming friday to taiwan... else... the burning hole in my pocket would be a big damage then.
just to share on this piece, although it's not something as hefty as jlc or ap, but i felt like i got my grail this year (been searching for one quite somewhile ago).. and i hope you are getting yours anytime this year. wear in good health everyone.
