Have anyone else noticed that Longines has applied a new clasp on their newly released spirit pilot? I actually suspect they will at some point apply the same clasp on the Zulu Time. I like my Zulu time however felt the clasp is a bit cheap as it does not have on the fly micro adjustment and overall could be cleaner instead of engraving “Longines” all over it. Thus, I consider changing it to this version, anyone with experience on how to order parts from Longines/AD? What are your thoughts on this clasp vs the one on the zulu time?

Hey all,

I recently received a replacement Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39mm from an AD after my original watch had a scratch on the crystal and a minor index issue.

This new one looks great overall, but I’ve noticed a faint line on the dial between 2 and 3 o’clock. It’s subtle, but it appears to be constant (doesn’t disappear when changing angles like typical sunburst reflections).

I’ve attached a photo where it’s visible in the right lighting.

My question:

Would you consider this within normal QC tolerances for Longines, or is this something you’d expect to be flawless on a brand new watch?

I’m trying to figure out whether I’m being too picky here or if this is something worth raising with the AD again.

Appreciate any input – especially from other Zulu Time owners.

Thanks!
