I owned this Master Collection Phase de Lune until about a year ago.

It represented excellent value for money in my opinion. There were myriad exquisite details that were representative of a watch costing far more. The time keeping and reliability were also very good.

I sold it to a friend and he has kindly allowed me to take some pictures of it to present here.

So, what are your opinions of Longines? Have you owned one? Were you happy with it? If not, would you consider one?

Brilliant. First real watch I purchased. Totally underestimated IMO with regards quality, value for money, accuracy style etc!!

I am a fan!!

I've never owned one but they appear to be great looking watches and I've only heard good things about them.

I love that watch and would probably own one by now if it hadn't violated one of my watch "rules": no eyes that overlap numbers.

Awesome watch...I love it. What movement does it use? I am assuming it is not in-house.

I would assume a modified 7750?

Thank You for all Your kind comments Guys.

I guess I should have expected an agreeable repsonse in this Breitling forum because you all must appreciate great designs, reliability and good value for money.

I actually really like the look of that and after all I've heard and read about value for money, I wonder why I don't seriously consider adding one to the collection. It's really very nice. The snob in me though says buy more mainstream brands like Omega and/or more Breitling's etc first - so much for ignoring marketing and popular opinion (sigh). I guess I'll have to experience other brands first before I maybe come around.

SEEMS TO BE TOTALLY OVERLOOKED, AND UNDER RATED, FOR SOME REASON. THEY SHOULD INCREASE THE PRICES DRAMATICALLY, TO
CHANGE PEOPLES' PERCEPTION OF THE BRAND .. :uplaugh:
