I'm in Love

Many thanks to

for posting his outstanding blue Longines HydroConquest and sending me down yet another horological rabbit hole. At roughly $1,600 retail, I wasn't planning on adding one anytime soon, but Jomashop had other ideas, and after stacking a few discounts, I couldn't resist bringing this 41mm home for just under $900.

Mine came on the stainless steel bracelet instead of the signature blue rubber strap, so naturally I enlisted AI to visualize a few alternatives. The results were so convincing that I've gone from deciding whether to buy a blue strap to debating which blue strap—or perhaps all of them. After all, every watch collector knows that the real cost of a watch is rarely the watch itself...it's the accessories that inevitably follow.
