    That was a Conquest until somebody got the idea to create their own model name.

    But why, oh, why??

    As a good vintagist, I generally dislike redials, although sometimes there is no other chance.

    But inventing out of thin air the name of a watch? Don't they know how to write Conquest? I can even understand, to some extent, that ebay happyhappy chap or chappette who paints everything the same sade of blue: eyecandy for the unadvised, and probably easy to do at a semi-industrial scale. But writing Skymaster instead of Conquest?

    Don't try to figure people out. You'll end up just as loony as they are.
