    Just wanted to share a picture of this Conquest Heritage I got in a trade, I'm really liking the black dial with the rose gold hand and markers. Perfect size with a vintage feel too. :)

    Quite small but as you said it fits a vintage size.

    Nice one Kyle - is this the vintage or the modern reissue? It looks like it's in terrific shape if it's vintage!

    They really made a smart move with their heritage collection.

    Do they still have the fish on the back with the heritage series?

    The date placement is absolutely perfect on that dial

    I agree. It really suits the watch nicely.

    This one is somewhat different, Kyles is the smaller 36mm version and closer to the vintage size. This one is the 42 mm size, rather large, also has a poor replacement crown and looks like it's lived a hard life.

    Really enjoying the overall look of this conquest... black dial with rose gold markers in contrast to the steal case. The atypical date placement adds another fun nuisance.
