For sale from my collection a pre-owned Longines Conquest Heritage Chronograph. Please check the below description. Watch is now out for revision at a trusted watchmaker. Pictures are part of the description.
If we were on eBay, this ad would have started with "RARE"; as we are not there, I will simply state that I looked for this model for quite a while before coming across it locally.

Condition: showing multiple signs of wear on case, sides, lugs; caseback has several scratches, some deeper than the rest. Edited: watch is out for revision at the moment.
Movement: Longines L650 (base 2894-2) automatic, 37 jewels - revision/adjustment needed (no history of revisions)
Crystal: acrylic (previously stated it's sapphire, I was wrong!).
Case
: Stainless Steel case
Dimensions: 38.5 mm diameter, wears larger if you ask me.
Caseback: screw-in, steel with applied enamel medallion showing partial discoloration.
Crown: Original
Dial: white sunburst dial with golden applied markers, awesome if you ask me. Has a speck of dust stuck on it at 1:00
Strap/bracelet: original Longines 20/16 strap with signs of wear; original buckle (purchased brand new from cousinsuk.com)
WR: not guaranteed due to opening of the case back and unknown condition of the seals.
No box or papers!

Price: 1100 EUR shipped by EMS within the EU. PayPal for established members only, with solid feedback, and only to confirmed addresses. Bank transfer possible at a discounted price. Will ship once funds clear. No exceptions!

Watch is located in Craiova, Romania, within the EU. All duties or any other additional taxes are the sole responsibility of the buyer. I will provide step-by-step pictures/scans of the packaging and shipping process but once the package leaves my hands I have no power over it.
I am a seller on Ebay under the same username for over 14 years and have 100% positive feedback with over 500 transactions (over 680 individual transactions) and many watches shipped to multiple locations (USA, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands etc.). For any other trust-related issues I can provide further credentials or proof of identity.

I also have several references on WUS, both as a seller and as a buyer. I can provide reference for other transactions as well (Omega 2254.50, Heuer Montreal sold to a very reputable dealer etc.)
I bought a Longines Conquest Watch from gwzymytk and am very happy!
gwzymytk - very positive experience
gwzymytk good experience. Great seller. To repeat.
gwzymytk - A very good buyer


I cannot take any returns for this item unless grossly misrepresented by me in the description and/or pictures. Please observe carefully, read the entire description and ask all questions prior to committing. No warranty.

Thank you to OF for hosting my ad and to the moderating team for allowing it before the 200-posts limit. Greatly appreciated!
All proceedings will go towards watches and watch-related stuff 馃槈

Back from service. Set me back a good 150 eur and involved replacing all components that showed wear.

Price stays the same, keep in mind you will have a watch backed by 1 year mechanical warranty, which I will be more than happy to intermediate if you so desire (shipping is still the buyer's responsibility).

Pics are from before revision, the speck of dust on the dial is now history of course.

The crystal is acrylic, not sapphire as previously thought. It's staying true to the original I guess? 馃榾
