Longines Avigation Type A-7 Watch
Allow us to introduce the Longines Avigation Type A-7, a new monopusher chronograph with an offset dial design meant to recall Longines' rich history in aviation watches. This new chronograph has been released as a modern interpretation of a design from the 1930's that carried the US Army designation of "Type A-7" suggesting it has been specifically created with Army pilots in mind.The Type A-7 employs a 47mm stainless steel case that allows for a large and legible dial design that allowed pilots to easily and quickly check the time or chronograph. Additionally, the Type A-7 features an over sized crown and integrated monopusher chronograph control which means the 30 minute chronograph is simple to use (much like a stop watch) and the crown and pusher system can easily be used even when a pilot is wearing gloves.Inside, the Type A-7 features the same L788.2 column wheel chronograph movement used within the L27764213 Monopusher Chronograph we saw in Paris earlier this year (seen below).

You've waited for this. The moment has come when you can truly combine your elevated sense of artistic taste and deep appreciation for mechanical prowess, all combining together in a potent mix to imbibe your thirst for luxury. Oh yes, the painting you know and love; the one that you have posters of in several rooms in your house.

In addition to being a poker conversation piece, it also offers some special functionality for poker players. A sapphire crystal covered cutout around the side of the watch located between the lugs at the bottom of the watch reveals the rotating disc that tells the time. This allows the wearer to check the time without having to move thei

Help with service in Holland or Belgium
Hi,My AP 15300 needs a service so I was wondering if (the Dutch or Belgian) readers have some advice on which AP Service Center is the best.I heard some stories that Schaap & Citroen (Rotterdam) is not that good (ie, they overcharge) but this could be entirely wrong...Who can share some experiences? Also about the typical charge. If I read some other posts than I can expect to pay around 15OO Euro (maintenance A).Are there any other options to service an AP (independent experts)? Unlike in the USA I guess sending the watch directly to AP in Le Brassus is not an option, or is it?Many thanks in advance!

Navitimer?
So is the Navitimer a watch designed for navigation, or is it a watch designed for Navy servicemen?The watch is quite often found with a 'navy' blue dial but I don't know what it is like as far as water resistant properties are concerned?

BLNR: I֪ Noticing a Trend
I’m not the “matching” type of guy. In fact, I’m anti-matching often times. I don’t necessarily want to clash, but I avoid looking too matchy-matchy. My father matches everything. Literally, everything. And I inherited his limited attention span, love of cars, love of watches, and dedication to his wife. But not his desire to match. That said, I’m noticing a very unconscious trend with me. Maybe it’s a sign from the watch gods.
