Hi everybody, I'm new on the forum, and I would like to start having the opinion about this longines watch ad I stumbled upon, It is a longines 19asd witch water resistent fish logo on the back, but no conquest what do you think about? https://i.imgur.com/Nb5imcq.png

https://imgur.com/gallery/yXnWX0t I thought it was franken but then I found another identical dial no conquest and 19asd on old ebay ad.

 

Horrible redial.

 

Yes I thought it was a redial but what about the other longines identical ? Two different ads two different countrys how is that possible? https://i.imgur.com/NhlEqQF.png

 

If you compare the fonts on the two watches they are completely different.

 

And on the matter of fishes and Conquests, there were fishes before Conquests

(this is the back of a 22AS)

and there were fishes after Conquests


(this is the backcase of a 23ZS Waterproof; note the lack of "automatic" in the medallion).

 

Yes I see that the brown is serif the other sans, the correct one for that tones is sans, but maybe both are redials the question is if there are versions of automatic longines 19asd not conquest with the gold fish on the back?

 

I see so the watch is maybe original dial?

 

This is what these dials should look like.

Beautiful! Another question. Do all 19asd are conquest ?

 

All the ones I've come across have, but coming from me that shouldn't carry much weight.

My impression is that this likely IS a conquest calendar, as it has the distinctive crown, medallion, and polygonal back, but that whoever did the redial simply left off the circular band and did not try to reproduce the copperplate script.

 

No.

 

I see, now I notice the really bad job the watch received, that is sad considering the great watch a conquest calendar is, I would replace the dial with an authentic if that is possible.

 

Hi, everyone I found a conquest that reminds me of this thread, it's a conquest with the fish logo on the back, I was googling the reference, but all watches I found have the gold fish, this one have a silver fish with no automatic legend, I wonder if this is authentic or maybe fake conquest or a franken, I would like to buy it if it is authentic, the prize is about 275 dlls.

 

It's not common, but that style of caseback medallion does turn up from time to time on cal 294 Conquests. You can see a couple of others in this thread: https://omegaforums.net/threads/fake-or-franken-cal-294-conquest-power-reserve.31178/
