Wow it's gone up in price. My one was £658 back in May 2013
Yep, I've been considering this one myself.

Was actually looking at the exact one I bought from the same store, the original has gone up too: http://www.jurawatches.co.uk/products/longines-hydroconquest-mens-l3-641-4-96-6-watch-lng-549
That's the one I have, got it last summer and looks like its gone up in price a bit since then. Lovely watch if I do say so my self, but the lume is terrible like mrk says.
The best I have are the Steiney Premium Blue, and the Planet Ocean. The others are all disapointing really...
I wear the Steiney most nights, if I wear one. It's lume it's still perfectly readable at 6am!
My ocean green is pretty ok too, still though not as bright as my Seiko chrono diver.
Steinhart.

Most of their divers are submariner homages. But tbh they're very well built watches for the money.

Recently back in the UK for a wedding and asked my dad to borrow a watch as I was an usher. He gave me his fathers old Tudor that needed a new strap and said I could keep it as its better that someone wears it and keeps it wound!
Needs some TLC, thinking I might send it in for a new glass and a polish.
If anyone is able to tell me more about this model I would be grateful. I think its from the late 60's/early 70's.
Getting used to winding it but it's keeping perfect time currently!
I'd be wary of getting new glass - see if they can polish it (plastic glass can have the scratches removed really rather easily - cracks are a different matter) rather than replace it, as if it's original, it would be a shame to replace it with a new one.
I'd also leave the case as is, as the scratches are just part of it, and were probably 'put' there by your grandfather.
But to each their own. If you like shiney shiney then go for it!
Received my most recent purchase today. Invicta pro diver 300m automatic. Few poor quality phone shots.
Uses a seiko NH35 movement, one often found in watches costing £200.00+. Picked it up for £79.00. Not bad for the money i gotta say.

Cheers mate, looks a lot better in the flesh as im no photographer.That looks good, come through quick
Delivery was very quick indeed, taking into account ordering last thursday and yesterday being a holiday. From singapore to northern ireland in that time is impressive.
Question for the watch experts. I have an Omega De Ville which is about a year old. Sometimes the date won't advance when I pull the crown out to the first click (not sure what the technical term is, if you pull it out a little but you can change the date, all the way to set the time, you know what I mean). It doesn't do this every time, only sometimes. It works fine if I pull it all the way out and wind the hands past midnight and advances normally every day. Any ideas what's causing this?
Im not too familiair with omega's tbh. But on all the watches i own with date windows, the crown needs to be pulled out to the second click. On my automatics, the first position after unscrewing the crown is for manually winding the movement.

You do know that you shouldn't set the date between 9pm and 3am yes?
