New Daily Beater!

Hi,fellows!
In last couple of months I developed a nasty habit - every time I go to downtown I think of possibility to find some interessting watch and take it home with me.It`s a kind of mania,actually...

Nevermind,yesterday I went to see my friend who is grey market dealer for brands as Omega,Longines,Eterna,...etc.etc.
He offered me two very nice timepieces,Omega Seamaster 120 m quartz and Longines Hydro Conquest quartz 300m.I know what are you thinking,who the hell needs quartz,right?
Well,I`m not big fan of quartz myself,but when I tried THIS ONE on my wrist,I knew that it`s my next watch!
So I gave my friend 50% of MSRP(his prices are amazing!) and went home with this on my wrist:Longines Hydro Conquest!

Since I sold my beloved Expy I was lacking for white faced daily beater and now I found it!It`s quite large watch(41mm) and it`s finish is amazing(like all the Longines I ever had).It kinda reminds me on Rolex or Tudor watches,in appearance of course.
And,now I`m very happy with my new purchase...`till the next one!
Here are the photos!
Cheers!

Good for you, Vukota! Longines has really come out with some great looking watch lately. More traditional and historic designs. That's a beauty and a great value too.
Wear it in good health,

Thanks,guys!
I picked up white one because I still mourn for my Explorer...

BTW,today I went to Longines AD and tried Longines Master Collection Moonphase,a very beautiful watch with modified Valjoux 7750 inside,and that`s a really great watch,I`m free to say that it`s best value for money.You just can`t get complicated watch of such quality for less money.
It`s MSRP is 1900 Euros,but they give 10%(maybe even more) discount if you pay in cash or with Master card.
So,I`m not become Longines man YET,but who knows...maybe my next purchase will be that Masterpiece?
