If you like the watch, And want it as a daily, there is no issue with having a 2001 quartz. There are countless ones from the 70s so in theory should last a lifetime.
And the newer ones will probably last even longer esp from reputable brands.
The only thing will be changing the battery once in a while.
Laod of us have working quartz watches from every decade since they were introduced.
*Please dont tell the mechanical watch fanboois though... (I am one of them)
And to this, if you really love the watch, if you figure out the movement, you can probably find a donor watch, and swap non-working for working, to further extend the life of your beloved quartz.

Hello guys,
do you think buying a 2001 VHP Longines can be a mistake ? Is the Quartz movement serviceable or electronic parts are prone to fail etc ? Reference L1.639.5.76.6.
I already wear a Longines Flagship heritage automatic that I love, but I would like to have a more "sturdy" watch as a daily no-brainer.
