  I was looking at the Solitude with the green dial and gilt hands/applied indices and quite liked it.

  

  But now I'm not sure about the hour hand, and the minute hand seems just a bit too long too.

  Meh, not a fan of putting the GMT hours on the dial itself (as oppose to say the rehaut), it makes it too busy in my opinion. Not a fan of the stubby GMT hand or the GMT markers serif font on the Spring/Summer models either.

  Watch the og Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy done by the BBC in the eighties. Look for the uncut version on YouTube (you might need a vpn to watch it from within the U.K.)

  That's nice. Amusingly the Longines website can't seem to decide between renders with or without a date window. Not sure myself though probably without. Think I'd rather have the silver dial in any case.

  Ah, I was wondering about the seemingly random caps :-)

  I find it annoying that the numerals & markers aren't fully lumed (or of the same colour than the hands for that matter - or the other way around)

  Shame as it's a great looking watch otherwise, glws :-)

  Nice! What is it like from the profile? I’ve always not considered them too much because they seemed so thick, just from the spec.

  Dornblüth came back to me and said lead time would be 8 to 10 months; they also sent a link to their pricelist and catalog if anyone wants to have a gander.

  @Dammit they have a couple of Weltzeit models (though a bit big to my taste at 42mm).
