This was a serious attempt trying
to find a watch for my upcoming wedding. Considering my becoming wife and I had
put a whole lot of dough into this event I was aiming to find something classic
but in a lower price range and when I found this Longines Conquest Heritage in
the end of May 2013 it felt like a good choice. It was far from perfect but I
figured it would have to do.

| #177 - The Longines Heritage Conquest, ref. L1.611.4.75.2. |
The horrible thin black
leather strap it came on was immediately removed and replaced with a brown croc strap.
Looked way better. Its size, 35mm excl. crown, made it a good dresswatch and
the acrylic crystal gave it a nice vintage touch. It actually looked really
classy and elegant.

| Seriously, that's a pretty good looking dresswatch! |
It was only a week
before our wedding day that I realized that “shit, this feels wrong! I can’t do
this!”
Oh, I was referring to the watch, not the actual marriage! No, a Longines wouldn’t do it and I had to take care of business really fast. Luck was with me and I managed to get a hold of the perfect object that felt worthy enough just a couple of days before we flew off to Rome for our big day.
To be continued.
