    So I am wanting to get a Conquest Calendar but it seems like each one I look at has a slightly different script so before I pull the trigger, I thought I would ask for a second (and third) opinion on this particular one. To me the "C" in Automatic is not correct and the "C" are "R" in Calendar are off. Is this a redial or just a variant? Thanks for the help!

    Here is another one on the table. To me this one looks more original.

    FYI the crown on the first is also incorrect.

    I missed that. I am going pass on the first. The second has a bad crystal but everything else looks good from my view. The seller offered me the watch for $1,800. I have read that under 2k is a good deal for other 18k conquests. Is that true for the models with 19 movements or really only the 29X?

    Second watch shows some pretty heavy wear including to the hard to find crown, adjust price accordingly.

    It is interesting that at 6 is labeled Swiss Made. 19AS/ASD usually just stand Swiss. Swiss Made tends to be at 29x. Do you have any answer to that Ulackfocus. It might be possible that it varied slightly in model years.

    I didn't notice that. I wonder if it's a trsnsition. I've been using the one sold by Bain as my reference for what to look for.

    No absolute answer Anders. The only thing I can say is never say never during the mid to late 50's.

    Sure do - as well as @LouS 's transition Conquest with the date at 12 caliber 291 inside the case that was usually meant for the 19ASD.

    While there's a thread on this, what's the board verdict on this one?
    All opinions welcome

    How hard is it to replace? Are these hens teeth?

    Unfortunately, they are quite hard to find.
    Try to contact Longines!
