Another Longines for sale. Thoughts?
Here: Longines Armbanduhr Grande Classique Les Grandes Classiques Automatik Tonneau I don't know how old it is, but the ad says is from 2000 onwards. I kind of like that is from La Grande Classique and it combines the tonneau shape with the automatic movement (nowadays one can only find Quartz movements inside this series)Any thoughts?

AP ROO vs Hublot
The AP ROO and Hublots seem very similar in design and price. Which is more desirable and why?

Omega PO chrono vs Tag Grand Carrera 17RS
I am seriously thinking about buying an Omega PO chronograph, the version with the black dial, orange numbers and rubber black strap (reference 2910.51.82). The alternative option is the Tag Heuer Grand Carrera 17RS with black dial (you can see both watches side by side on the attached photo).I was thinking maybe you could help me choose between them. Appearance-wise, it seems to me that the omega is more classic and more sporty, while the tag is more original (different than most watches you would see) and more classy.

I find it quite heavy on my wrist and I prefer to wear lighter watches.Well, they took it away to the back of the shop to inspect it, I was quite worried as I could not see what was happening to it... Anyway they came back with it and said there was a scratch on the glass.Actually at first they said there was a scratch on the dial... which scared me as the watch has never been opened since it was bought new (I am the original owner), so I know it can't have a scratch on the dial as it has never been touched inside since it left the Rolex factory... then he clarified it was a scratch on the glass. I am actually quite surprised because I thought sapphire glass is almost scratchproof and I don't own any diamonds that can scratch it.I can't see a scratch with my eye but admittedly I don't have a special magnifying glas
