·All the printing is clear but no small minute marks? No lume dots but yet the hands are lumed. "Swiss Made" letters look like 4th grader printed it.
Actually, the print looks pretty bad quality to me and not crisp at all. That's what first caught my eye without even looking for anything else.

··MWR Tech Support DeptHope no one here bought this:
Longines never double signed their dials with Swiss or Fab. Suisse.
I also had Longines run the numbers on this watch and they confirmed the watch is a put together with a redial😲
I told the dealer this last year and he just relisted and sold it in the last few days.
Shame.

·I need to post a correction. I mistakenly thought this was the same watch I had encountered a year or two ago when I posted this https://omegaforums.net/threads/beware-problem-longines-watches.41134/page-4#post-662136
Actually it was this watch below that I had previously encountered with the same seller and was found to be a lemon.
Please excuse my error.
It is still very likely that the top dial is incorrect, the rest of the watch, only Longines knows.

··Thanks, mystery donor!Possibly refinished by the same people that did this one: https://omegaforums.net/threads/beware-problem-longines-watches.41134/page-3#post-653339 At the moment, I cannot find an example to compare with.

Redial. Seller claims original dial. Messaged with him on WUS already and he still didn't change his listing. Avoid!

·Nicely presented Conquest, but so many issues here:
- Redial with incorrect layout (black rings around burnished area)
- Box very nice but not period correct for ref. 900x
- Crown not original (though not claimed by seller)

··Thanks, mystery donor!This dial has been refinished. Unfortunately, there are not many 3Ts, from this period, with black dials for comparison. I have attached an image of a "DH" as rudimentary reference. Notice the signatures.

··MWR Tech Support DeptSadly the dial is a 1950s redial or replacement... a beautiful gold watch from 1917 with matching case and movement serial. Guess the dial may have endured quite a bit. Crown is a replacement, hands also could be.
Case is interesting and beautiful though.

··MWR Tech Support DeptThis seems to be a dial transplant (with an original dial).
Interesting to note the quality of the indexes on the subdial doesn't look so good as on other dials (but the dial looks original).

··MWR Tech Support DeptSomeone just got ripped off. This dial is very blatantly redialed (and falsely claimed original).

·Problematic in what way? This dial has been discussed here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/unusual-dial-redone.52567/ I am still on the fence about it.
Apologies, missed the thread.
Perhaps it's the photo, but that black looks like the black of a chalk board, paired with the fuzzy LONGINES logo and unusual design for a 3T case (and the price) it rang some alarm bells. Take a look at the first three letters - LON - they almost touch / overlap.
Of course, just because I (read: Google) have never seen it does certainly not mean it couldn't be true. It just reminded me of the myriad of redone Tudor dials out there -- it's the same sort of black.
