A sophisticated appearance, classically-designed timepiece is a popular addition to any watch collection and something like this Longines Master Collection Moon Phase Chronograph fake watch is a solid and affordable way to include such an item into your collection. It consists of the Swiss Made ETA Valjoux 7751 which is developed into the Longines caliber L687. My first ever “complicated” watch included a Valjoux 7751 and I suppose this is a very effective way to enjoy a large number of sophisticated watch products without crossing the price spectrum.
The Fake Longines is quite familiar with the 7751 movement family – having characterized these movements in different Master Collection timepieces for years now. The success of combining the Master Collection timepiece aesthetic with the features in the 7751 movement is proven.
The 4Hz, two day power reserve 7751 automatic movement is developed visually by decoration as well as technically with the inclusion of a column-wheel transmission system for the chronograph in some models. Column wheels are amazing to look at and regarded to be more “collector worthy” depending on who you talk to. At the least, Longines replica is able to offer more than just your standard Valjoux 7751 by having the L687 caliber movement which adds a bit more technical fascination. Therefore, depending on the unique Longines Master Collection model you get you might be getting a different movement. The more recently produced L2.673.4.78.3 seems to contain the L687 movement but gently older models like my review unit contain the caliber L.678.2 movement which, I suppose, is more or less the same thing but without the column wheel and a bit more power reserve.
The core 7751 movement was created to add functionality to the iconic Valjoux 7750 automatic 12 hour chronograph. What it adds is a complete calendar, as well as a moon phase indicator and synchronized 24 hour hand which effectively serves as an AM/PM indicator. I’ve written about watches that use the 7751 movement for over a decade now, and I will remind readers that one of the downsides of the 7751 is that it stands for particular design challenges for watchmakers seeking to create visually balanced dials. So much of the “weight” of the information on the dial is on the left-side. That means the right side of the dial is relatively sparse and typically reserved for a watch brand logo. The fake Longines designs this Master Collection dial about as well as can be expected around the 7751’s quirky dial layout. 
I prefer the dial design with its traditional printed Arabic hour numerals and a barley corn pattern-aesthetic stamped into the dial. This is designed to mimic the appearance of guilloche-engraved dials, but to get authentic machine engraving on a dial you need to step up to a Breguet timepiece which is a partner to the fake Longines within the Swatch Group. Longines uses blued-steel hands properly and without many reflective surfaces on the dial, it makes for a highly legible fake watch.
However, this isn’t a sports watch with 30 meters of water resistance, but it is designed with enough durability to serve as a daily-wear timepiece. On the brown alligator strap this Master Collection L26734783 has a slick, old-world style appeal to it. Longines replica watches also provides the same watch in a matching steel metal bracelet in the reference L26734786 that lends it a slightly more contemporary feel. I greatly appreciate that Longines does not charge a premium for the metal bracelet. Whether or not you order the Master Collection moon phase chronograph on the strap or bracelet, the price is the same.
There’s nothing particularly revolutionary about the watch, and it doesn’t intend to be. As a member of swatch group, Longines offers real value and quality to watch lovers around the world with its rich history and deep industrial resources. Because of this, the fake Longines is one of the best performing brands in the swatch group, and in some parts of the world, Longines is definitely one of the best performing brands in the swatch group.
