Longines in 2012

[Jazzmaster]

I'm ending 2011 with an investment in 2012 -- put down a deposit yesterday on the Longines Master Retrograde Moon Phase, now due out in April. Man, I am counting down the days...

I didn't hear about that one. Wow, that's sharp.

I have loved the retrograde for a while and keep eyeing them off. I love that new model, except I don't know why they have those adjustment buttons coming out from the case like that, I think it would look better flush. But wow! Congrats. Please post up some pics when it does arrive!

I know what you mean about the pushers, Wombat. But, given the number of adjustments that are possible with this watch, I bet they come in handy! Another view shows that, relatively speaking, the pushers aren't too obtrusive. One way or the other, this will definitely be a watch to keep on the winder!

Hello -

I am considering buying the 41mm dial version of this watch (Longines Master Retrograde with Moonphase L27384713)

I have not personally seen this watch. Can anyone please tell me the case thickness of this watch? I have another Longines Column Wheel and it is 14mm. I prefer case thickness to be either same or less (and certainly not much more).

Thank you so much for your help,

Dilbert is a comic strip character, right? Comic strips would be nowhere without illustrations, just as watch forum threads are worthless without pictures of the watch you're asking about. Is it one of the above? The exact model number would be great too. Not much of a price to pay for the answer to your question!


.... or you could ask The Google. He'll help you. We're too lazy to leave here to do your homework for you, then come back and forth using copy & paste to post the data.

That's a great watch dude. I love my Master Chronograph. That one is like the super version of mine. Very nice. Hope you enjoy it very much

I think we have similar taste Jazzmaster.

Looks that way, Squid. And thanks for the thought, Tenac. Unfortunately, the arrival of this watch has been pushed back to June, so I still have some more waiting to do. Something tells me the wait will be worth it.

What kind of movement is in that thing?
