Hi!
apart from the condition of the dial and the owner's love for glue, is it really an Admiral or is it a Conquest Power Reserve dial?

The Conquest Power Reserve has a separate disc in the center that spins to indicate the amount of power left. It runs from 0 to 45, as in hours.

This Admiral dial has the minutes / seconds displayed numerically from 10 - 60. The center is NOT a separate spinning disc.

 

Thanks. I was not sure. The condition of the dial was so fascinating...

 

Fascinating. Like watching a train hit a cow.

 

Is that how they came up with the name for Smash Burger?

 

it shows that liberal amounts of crazy glue (or is it bathroom silicone?) DO have a place in watchmaking ...

 

Makes me wonder if the seller is blind or likes to "stretch the truth" or both:

From the eBay description (BOLD is mine) -

• LONGINES ADMIRAL

• rare vintah MOVEMENT and dial

• all original LONGINES no after markt or redone

• 30mm mm in diameter

• CAL # 505look like in working condition

• used RARE gold dial in good condition

• hes some hairline but nice for its age

Oh, and it's a quartz movement

 

That's because it was made in the 1990ies!
