    Starting bid is high at more than 400 Eur - worth a punt? :cautious:

    Marcus, I would say that the fonts are off, definitely a refinished dial. Look at the position of the longines script..off to the left..:unsure: Also, case and lugs have lost their facets, aggressive polishing me thinks, keep clear of this one! :)

    Much appreciated Alex. The poor finishing of the lettering on the dial also got me cautious as well. This hunting for a decent 291 is tough!

    It's a redial. The C of Conquest is a dead give-away.

    Yep, a redial.
