路There is a watch on catawiki but I can't quite tell whether the dial is original - are we permitted to post those on the forum to get thoughts from people? I believe so but I wanted to check before I posted.
Can we ask questions about auctions?

路I haven't posted (except to sell watches) since about 2004 - that is when TZ was the only forum. Back then, I remember we would include in the title of the post that it had large pictures (MODEM BURNER). The pictures would take soooooo long to load. At that time, there were really only a few dozen people that were interested in Longines watches, at least on the internet. I wish that I had been able to save enough money back then to purchase a 13zn or two - they were cheap back then - around 1000 USD.
Here is the watch in question:
https://www.chrono24.com/longines/l...ngines-7008-2-70oro-18-carati--id15356546.htm
Does the dial look right? The lettering for automatic doesn't quite seem right to me for the time period but I am not sure. Also, it doesn't say swiss or swiss made which I see on pretty much all Longines watches.
Thoughts?

路@sonicosa - I think I am more hoping that it is not a redial....

路I think the dial is redone. Is this a 50s Conquest?

路@killer67 - I don't know what it might have been originally. The hand/dial combination is similar to a jamboree but I haven't seen a similar combination on a 29x movement.

路@killer67 - I have never seen one if there is. Mostly, the hands and the dial markers look the same.

路Here is my 1964 Jamboree as a dial comparison. Obviously not the same watch, but the dial features should help - though the auction images are pretty bad.

Longines made a few models with the date window at 12, but they tended to be only their high-end offerings. I could be wrong, but I've only seen Conquests, Flagships and a few oddball Grand Prize models with date windows at 12.
