many years Longines has always been regarded as a well made watch and as someone has said they stand the test of time, there are plenty of vintage models around on the bay. The,ve always been a fovourite of mine and i have a couple of older models including an electric and F300 tuning fork model both nearly forty years and keeping excellent time(seepics) so I would never be put off of buying one and I,m sure the new models will be just as well made.
