  • How does Longines compare to Rolex?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024
    How Longines and Rolex compare is that both watchmakers are trusted names in the luxury market. Rolex is known for its precision and unflagging pursuit of innovation. In 1926, the company introduced the aptly named Oyster model. With a screw-down crown and case back, both fitted with rubber gaskets, this was the first truly waterproof watch. Other iconic Rolex watches include the Submariner, the DateJust, the Daytona and the Air King. Longines is known for creating some of the most technically innovative and attractive timepieces in the world. Fans of the timepieces have included Humphrey Bogart, Albert Einstein, Richard Byrd and Charles Lindbergh, and the company's vintage watches are now sought after by collectors and anyone desiring to wear a high-grade wristwatch. When shopping for a watch, you should think about what you’re looking for in this type of accessory. This includes the power reserve, materials, accuracy, craftsmanship, where it was manufactured and more. If it’s your first watch, you may wish to consider whether or not you’d prefer a pre-owned model. Buying a new, never-worn watch enables you to build a history with it that isn’t shared by anyone else, but the greatest advantage to buying a pre-owned watch is that it opens up a wider range of models to consider, including rare ones that have been discontinued.

  • How can you tell if a Longines watch is real?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if a Longines watch is real, get a magnifying glass and look for small numbers positioned below the 6 o'clock hour marker. Featured on most of the brand's luxury timepieces, these numbers correspond to the movement and plate numbers. By comparing these numbers to information published on trusted online resources, you can spot inconsistencies that may indicate your piece is a replica. If you don't see any numbers, find out if Longines added them to your particular watch. If so, the lack of numbers may mean your watch is counterfeit. Another method of authenticating is to inspect the entire watch for uneven finishes, low-quality hardware or other imperfections, as authentic Longines watches will be free of these types of defects. Consult a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert for a professional opinion on your watch's authenticity. Find a diverse assortment of Longines watches on 1stDibs.
