That is a loaded question. Is a Ford cheap? Certainly the Escort is, but Ford GT is not.

Longines is the same level as TAG, Omega, Breitling, Baume Mercier... 800k+ a year manufacturer. When I say at the same level, I mean you are getting a similar watch at what ever price point you want pay.

A 2K Longines will be on part with a 2K Omega in terms of finishing and complications.

Longines name I think has suffered some with lower end products on the market. They should drop them like Omega did. I really dig Longines Charles Lindbergh line. Very classic and understated. A watch you won't get sick of too fast.
