Del 4,514 Posted July 5, 2015 I'm on holiday in Tenerife at the moment and, as always, I've been checking out the plethora of ADs here! Honestly, the choice is incredible! The ADs are similar to back in the UK - most will only give you small discounts like 10-12% but, sometimes, you will find a little gem of a place who will give more..... I ended up getting a great deal on the Longines shown below. It's one of the new-style Hydro Conquests in black with an automatic movement (Longines calibre L619, which is based on the ETA 2892-A2 movement). It's a true divers watch with a rating of 300m, screw-in crown and divers extension on the brushed s/s bracelet. It has a sapphire crystal with AR on the underside, plus Super-Luminova on the dials and hands. Size is 41mm. I'm over the moon with the watch - it's an absolute beauty on the wrist! Below are some iPhone pics uploaded via the Tapatalk hosting service so the quality is not great - the watch really "pops" in person! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted July 5, 2015 I look forward to seeing this in m2m in about 2 months time Lovely watch, looks much more of a divers watch than the pleb Hydroconquest. Not too shabby at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,514 Posted July 5, 2015 Nice pick up,how much did you bag it for Del. Thanks mate. Got it for €780. (Euros) With the good exchange rate plus the discount I reckon that's ok for a high street shop. What d'ya reckon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
