Beautiful decoration... somebody asked "why would they decorate a standard grade movement?" UHHH... Because it LOOKS NICE!  Why would they decorate a chinese no-name movement in a watch? To make it look nice. That is why you decorate things. (It just won't make a chinese watch swiss or a standard spring a top spring... get it? I have some very plain 2824 watches with top level components in the movement (making it the top grade) and standard 2824 with lots of decoration.... don't assume

IN THIS VIDEO ALONE, SOME SAY IT IS 'TOP', SOME SAY IT IS 'ELABORE' AND SOME SAY IT IS 'STANDARD' GRADE.

DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW FOR SURE?

@PUNISHERUltra It is an Elabore grade; you can recognize in the video the use of an incabloc shock system, instead of the etachoc of the standard grade.

I don't get it why Longines decorates a standard movement. The balance wheel is a nickel one....

[PUNISHERUltra]

@moonshade0227 THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS NOT A 'STANDARD' GRADE.

IT IS AT LEAST ELABORE GRADE.

same movement as a tissot le locle half the price, and to be honest, I prefer the look of the Tissot in black

[italomagic1]

@007slaney Anyone have any idea whether any of Longine's watches are chronometre certified?

[Netrool]

i wish dey made it see through case

[PUNISHERUltra]

I SEE THAT THE CASE IS NOT A SUPER COMPRESSOR.

Thanks for this video, I have this watch and I was very curious about his heart.

[0stanley0steamer0]

Very nice. I have a Longines Legend Diver, which is like this watch's granddaddy. It' s got the same movement so seeing this made me feel real good about my LLD.
