Best places to buy Longines watches online?

Gang, the Longines bug has well and truly taken hold - I can't stop looking at/thinking about several of the watches from the Heritage collection.

In the not too distant future I'm considering the Heritage 1935 reissue as well as either the Legend Diver L2.795.4.52.0 or the L2.796.4.52.9 (with chrono).

Does anyone have any suggestions or advise on the best places to grab these watches online with a reasonable discount? Would appreciate any advise. Thanks!

Max

I thought Longines was bankrupt. Good luck to you.

What gave you the idea they'd be bankrupt?

I hate what swatch did to the brand when they bought them. They really used to be something very special

I would use Swiss Watches Direct if you're in the UK. I've used them for Oemga and Breitling but they also do good prices on Longines

Perhaps try contacting a trusted seller on TRF.

strange I've heard something similar somewhere. I forget where and can't really find anything online. Were they just bought out? I was a little scared too that they would be hard to find parts down the line.

I also was looking at like a diver as a cheap alternative to a sub/ap diver.
