Longines master collection chronograph

Recommended Posts

Pharmo

Bought this recently from PeteM. What an amazing member to deal with! Highly recommended :)

 

Not only videos of watch working, packaging etc...he actually uploaded videos showing me how to use the functions. Can`t thank you enough mate. A real gent :clap:

 

As for the watch what can I say...it looks complicated at first but very easy when you know your way around it.

 

 

There are four long hands that stretch from centre to bezel: the hour, minute, chronograph, and the date hand. The date is on the perimeter of the dial. The exhibition case back shows the 7751 movement. I know the gen has a 48 hour power reserve when fully wound but not tested it yet. It is a very sensible size at 40 x15mm

 

 

There is a great YouTube video that goes through the watch very nicely – so here it is;

Negative points: The only negative bit I can find is probably the bracelet. It is very accurate to the gen but the clasp does feel a tiny bit sharp. Nothing a wd40 bracelet bath won`t sort out I am sure.

 

 

One issue for me is that I cant seen to get the bracelet sized exactly to my tiny wrists – if I put one extra link in, it is too big and if I take one link out it feels a bit tight. I probably need a half link but not sure if you can source one??? Any ideas anyone?

 

Anyhow enough chat from me, here are some quick pictures to soothe the eye :lol:

Do you think the tone of the moon is close to the gen? I feel that the gen is a tone lighter or could it be just lighting ?

The tone seems pretty spot on. Seems like more the lighting. I've tried on of these on recently...can vouch that it looks incredible...especially on a leather strap

I couldn't tell the difference when I looked at a gen on display but that was before I got the watch.

 

Never had a chance to compare side by side :)

Hows the reliability on this? is the 7751 reliable with all the complications?

I like that a lot. Sweet looking watch.

 

OP, I have small wrists like yours, and the same problem getting a bracelet to fit me right. I usually end up swapping out the bracelet for a rubber or leather strap on most of my watches.

I've been looking for a nice watch for my wedding and this might just be the one. I was looking at the gen version of this yesterday on watch finder but can't warrant the asking price when the rep looks this nice and comes boxed also. Enjoy yours and wear it well.

Really nice watch, I'm not that much for watches with complications but this one has a very well laid out dial.
