Yes something is definitely in play and something has to give. Up for sale is my beautiful early sixties Longines Conquest 9025 14. I don't know the service history of this watch but it keeps good time and winds smoothly. The watch is extremely hard to photograph and the pics do not do it justice. The pics are very high res and hide no secrets, the only floor on the watch is the dent on the case back which can be seen in the pics. The dial on this watch is simply amazing and reflects the light within the facets in an extraordinary way. I am looking for a very reasonable $2800 USD plus shipping. Happy to answer any questions, just shoot me a pm. Cheers
