EP74: Crowning a New Value Champion from Longines

"Always the bridesmaid, never the bride" as the saying could go for Longines, but in 2026, the refreshed 3-hand Hydroconquest is the hottest ticket in town, and the boys are here to break it all down while sharing thoughts on a few new releases from Seiko and Omega, while Russ does his best to not get in trouble while offering a sneak peek of a new brand coming to Topper later this year. As always, you can reach the boys for questions and comments at [email protected].
