A correct and honest Conquest caliber 291, probably a later model (mid to late 60's) with very nice medallion enamel. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LONGINES-CO...018977204?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item46162113b4Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network And it's on open auction! This one should clean up well.
I bought and sold a very similar no date (290) version of that same stainless Conquest last year for around $550 I think.
It's where, at the seller's discretion, all inference of a bidder ID is not disclosed. There's probably a better and comprehensive explanation from Ebay.
An interesting Grand Prize from 1966-ish: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Lon...275555066?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item4acd83ecfaPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Bad pics might keep the price down to the opening bid which isn't a terrible price for gambling. Take a look at the regulator and see if you think you see what I think I see.
I'm not sure what you see. My WAG, my untrained eye and bad photo, it looks as if the regulator can not be adjusted. If that's not it, I won't be surprised.
I'm not familiar with the movement, but that should be an eccentric screw. Is it not? Sorry I couldn't do a detailed assessment but there was a "convenient" light bloom over the area in question.
All else equal - do stainless steel Longines watches tend to cost more or are more valued to collectors, than gold filled?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that stainless steel (fill in any manufacturer here) watches are more valued by collectors than gold filled (or plated).
Remember though the first Law of collecting: Condition, Condition, Condition. So if you have a NOS (real one) Gold-filled watch it may go for more than a just pretty good SS case of the same model.
How 'bout dat Ultra-Chron logo dial caliber 431 you pointed out. I see the offer price on that gold filled example, but haven't come across a stainless steel

Oh, the Flagship U-C. That's not so common of a watch, and it has an original buckle too. Don't know what it actually sold for though.
Nice one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-L...155411782?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item35d1efab46Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network /Anders
