Close to a year ago I bought this watch that was in need of spare parts. And now I can finally wear it 😀



Reference 9020 2 conquest with caliber 290 inside. I do love longines casebacks!



According to the archives it was invoiced on 27 October 1960 to the company Terasse, at the time the agent for Sweden.

Yes, that's the one, I didn't kept it long, the dial was original when we checked it in person. didn't seems to have lume on it, it was only painted with a varnish on it.

I wanted to put back the correct hands, switch the crystal, but ended up letting it go to a collector who was really interested and who had all the parts.

Suppose I should post this here too. 9024 Conquest on original bracelet and clean case back.

Love that bracelet! Is it comfortable?

So this ones mine after doing research I can confidently say this watch has been in my family since it was new and that when it was passed to my father from his he didn’t realize it was a manual wind watch and was too cheap to try and repair it so he tossed it in a drawer and shuffled it around as an heirloom. Then after he died in 2004 it was in my box of momentos when I accidentally wound it this last fall and began researching it amazed that it still worked now just need to find anyone who may be able to help figure out what it’s worth so I can decide to insure it or part with it

Not sure about current value, but one thing I can tell is that either your father or grandfather had the watch redialled at some point in time.

Here is a picture of a Longines Ref. 5332 with what looks to be an original dial:



There is a short write up on the watch on this post:

The serial numbers are pretty close on both watches, both from 1944.

Hope this helps,

Here's mine 😀

Nice to see one of the more complicated, modern Longines pieces; a nice chronograph with a moon phase and calendar function.

I recently acquired this from my grandfather's estate, but I have no idea what it may be...

I have to be a man of my word, so here's my collection, minus the '68 Ultra-Chron that has been in the shop now for a lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ng time...🙁, but I'll throw in my last best pic of that one, too:


Here's the 50's crowd together (those on the left above):

'50 cal.22A, '50 22AS, '53 23Z, '59 19A 'spider' 😜




The early '60's grupo, starting with the 18k RG 'Grandaddy' Date@12 Flagship 🥰:

'61 cal.341, '61 350, '63 280, '63 30L, '?? 12.68Z



mid-60's whipper-snappers:

'66 cal.342, '66 D@6 343, '66 Pulsations 342 (can you say, 'rare'?), '67 345 Flagship 😁😁



Here's my '68 Ultra-Chron cal. 431, currently in extended rehab...



...and just because I know I'm not the only one here that loves a pretty 'back-side' or two 😉:



My Longines collection has at least one glaring omission, which I hope one day to rectify, and it's been a grail of mine for quite some time, now... and it is very aptly named; or, at least it will be once I get one!

PS: I feel I must give big credit and thanks to @ulackfocus , because without his help, my collection would not even be worth bearing mention 👍...

Wow what a collection! At least 5 there I would love to own! How about that Admiral Pulsometer too! I nearly bought one of these just this week but missed the end of the auction! D: Such a wonderful!

Well done for finding so many beautiful examples 😀

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

What dreams are made of!

My Longines Conquest Ref. 9000 in solid steel with rose gold markers and hands 😀
That's a beauty - after seeing your post I managed to find one on ebay that should be with me in the next couple of days. Photos were pretty crappy but I'm hoping that it might be nearly as nice as yours 😉
