I'm glad I can now contribute to this thread with my first Conquest

 

I only have the one (my wife's), a manual-wind beauty from 1980 (the watch, not my wife...)

 

Hey Shayne, how ya doin' man?

 

Ok thanks. Been missing the watch scene a bit, but scared of where coming back here might lead me... . I heard no one leaves here alive, or at least without a couple of Omegas

 

8271 - my 1st modern Longines chrono. rgds - h.u.

 

Here's my only Longines. It says, "10k Gold Filled L&K on the back. It has no bracelet. I have no idea the model, year or value of this watch. Does anyone here know?

 

I already wrote about it in a separate post, but as this will probably stay in the first few pages of the Longines sub-forum long after the western civilisation has gone, I thought I would post a few pictures here:







Longines Conquest ref. 1570 from 1976. Caliber 633-1 (ETA 2824) with quick-set date, hacking, 28,800 bph movement. Engraving on the back, as it was a 25 anniversary present. Pretty untouched except for a service a few weeks ago

 

A 13ZN12 - unfortunately with an early replacement dial (or redial) - thanks to Aldo, now equipped with a perfect crown.

rgds - h.u.

 

Here is my Ultra Chron, with the 431 movement, back from service.

 

Welcome and nice. Now how about an avatar picture? Nobody likes the ? default picture.

 

Close to perfect gentleman's watch.

 

There are two Longines watches in our household so far. The first is caliber 23z with seconds sub-dial. and I'm guessing late 50's or early 60's year. The swirl guilloche seems rare. The indices are applied silver/white gold? in a 10K gold filled case, 32.75mm, 18mm lugs. Crown is not original. Any information on this watch, especially the approximate production date, is appreciated. My wife stole it from me and it looks perfect as a "boyfriend" watch on her slim, 5'1" frame. The second Longines is a Hydroconquest Automatic in blue, 41mm, 3 arabic numerals, L3.642.4.96.6. Serious bracelet.

 

Longines 30CH, french case (signed), 18k rosegold - I believe never polished.

 

@minutenrohr Gorgeous example in pristine condition. No Fab. Suisse?

 

No. I think it´s french because of its caseback signature + the hallmarks. Movement is 11,800000; perhaps too late for a fab. suisse dial?

 

Thank you for the images of the caseback. I think that you are correct about 11 8xx xxx being too late. This caliber 380 still has it but maybe around 1960 Longines stopped marking dials with Fab. Suisse.

WOW! Looks like art...beautiful.

 

Just arrived: Longines 12.68ZS, ref. 6591, nearly untouched, even the spring bars...

 

Great find!

 

Ai caramba!

How I'd like to have this one on my wrist
