Longines Master Manual Wind: Classy Piece, Affordable Price
Anyone ever heard of Longines before? Some may have not but they are an extremely well known swiss manufacturer of high end watches. They make many different models ranging from your dress watches in steel, dress watches in gold all the way to sport watches. They basically have you covered from all different points.
The Longines Master Collection Manual mind, model L2.640.4.78.3, is a manual wind watch that is based off of the ever so common ETA Valjoux movement. Measuring in at 47.5mm, it is not exactly the smallest watch in the world but the general trend recently has been toward larger watches. The internals contain Longines rebranding L512 movement that beats at 21,600 BPH with a 54 hour power reserve on a full wind. Longines in most well known for the text of the numbers on the watch, and the picture below shows a prime example of how eye catching their pieces are as a result of this. The face contains that beautiful lettering, classic blue hands and an off centered center hand at the 6 o clock position. It also comes with a display back to view the movement.
The best part about this watch is the price. You get all this for about 1000-1100 brand new online. how can you beat that?

Bought another gun. Oh noez
Alright this is my last non watch related post and may just start a gun blog as a result...
Anyways I picked up a Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 45 acp in stainless steel on monday afternoon. It basically has all the bells as whistles for the most part such as a skeletonized trigger, skeletonized hammer, front and rear slide milling, 3 dot sights and textured wood grips.
The one negative thing I have with the gun is that it is extremely heavy and the slide feels almost a bit too snug. All full size 1911s are heavy which isn't really that big of a deal but hopefully after breaking the gun in at the range, things will loosen up.
Would anyone here follow a gun blog?

Apologies for not writing as much
As many of you know, I am a college student so I can't update this blog like I use to. Before school started, I was writing multiple times a day but the workload is creeping up on me.
I intend on keeping up with this once a day or every other day and checking out your blogs. Keep it up guys and thanks for the support.
Sincerely,
The Watchman

A Few Famous People and Their Watches pt. 2

2) George Clooney (Omega): There was a huge advertising campaign where he actually went into the factory for a tour. I am sure you guys can google stuff about it and I think there is even a video of him when he went for an interview after leaving the factory.
3) Tony Parker (IWC Portuguese Chrono): Tony......with all that money you make, all you can get is an ETA based porto chrono? All kidding aside, it is a great watch but it does have a non in house modified ETA movement.....
4) Sylvester Stallone (Panerai): Probably the biggest ambassador of Panerai in the world. Ask anyone.....

A Few Famous People and Their Watches
Ever wonder what watches some celebs wear? For my next few posts, I am going to post what watches some well known celebs wear on a daily basis
1) Jay-Z (Audemars Piguet ROO): Guy is quite possibly the biggest AP fan in the world, no joke.

2) Roger Federer (Rolex 18K GMTII Ceramic): The guy is the face of Rolex
3) Jennifer Aniston (Rolex Day-Date): Contrary to popular belief, the watch is not called the presidents. You know how people call it the "Presidential Rolex" or the "Rolex Presidents"? It is actually a slang term and something I will cover on a future article. Back to Jennifer though, I don't think I have seen a picture of her without a mens 36mm day date on.
4) Shia Labeouf (IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar): In my opinion, of the best bang for the buck watches out there but it will set you back a huge chunk of change
