    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Is this all original?
    I have some concerns. The seller does not have a movement pic and he is from South America.

    Looks OK but be aware this is not a vintage watch, its from the Heritage collection.

    It's still a nice watch! Longines has done a very good job with these heritage models.:thumbsup:

    Because it's a dead ringer for the vintage Conquest. I've made the mistake many times during casual internet browsing. The modern is slightly larger, the date at 12 is an unusual feature with this dial furniture in vintage, and the that starry sky caseback only goes with solid gold cases in the original (vintage) Conquest, which has no other writing on the caseback.

    It's one of the favourite watches that I own, vintage styling with modern reliability, waterproof, etc.......

    Sometimes I wonder why I need anything else.......and then I go and buy another vintage::screwloose::

    A modern watch with a really nice vintage feeling. :)
