I'm leaning in on this one, before I pull the trigger please tell me if any issues?

Are the indices on the dial okay for the movement caliber 290 in there?

Anything looks off?

Many thnx!!!

Looks good

 

Was just looking at that. Clean and correct. Good looking example

 

Really nice one with a rare dial variation I never saw on a 18K Conquest before.

 

Rare as in great OR rare as in franken?

 

Not Arabic but everything else is in the same place on the dial.

 

Yeah...and this one we all know, is a calibre 290




And this one







Many thanks!!

 

I think it's just a rare variant. Print is top notch, can't see any abnormality -> Original Conquest dial.
Probability that the dial was taken from another Conquest is very, very unlikely imho.
Go for it it's nice! I was very tempted too. What put me off was that I would have to pay additional 19% in customs.
Maybe you can even manage to get a little discount. It's sitting there since quite a while. Maybe it's the location...

 

I've been tempted. Love the shooting star case back, just think the price is a bit rich.

 

Why?

 

Admittedly, I've also been thinking about that 291 you've got listed @JohnSteed. I just don't want to try and track down another scalloped crown.

 

Aaaaahhhhhh
I'm tracking down hands for my L diver

 

Well, I'm sure my valuations are a bit skewed, but I've recently picked up an 18k 30L Flagship for just over $600 and a capped Power Reserve at $1800. So, I'd be more at like $1600-$1750 on the Conquest you're looking at.

 

Nice...but...pics!!!
Or it didn't happen

 

Wearing the Flagship today. Delivered in 1960 to their agent in Panama. The Conquest is at my watchmaker.

 

Considering the condition of the Montevideo Conquest, which is fantastic, I would say it is absolutely not overpriced.
Well, if customs/tax apply in your country that's a different story though

 

That's a good point. It does look minty.

 

Nice watches @Rumar89 Best Flagship case back too

So YOU got that LCPwrRes!!!!! Nice

 

Minty!!?? your killing me........



Thanks very much for all the comments BTW

 

I did. I want to know who picked up the stainless one that was just finished on EBay. I'm sure the new owner is lurking here.
