··ΩF InvestiGatorYeah, it needs a service. Beat error is quite high.
But I really like the style. Dial could be solid gold. Well worth getting it fixed up.

··ΩF InvestiGatorHere is another example of this reference that was sold by a well-known retailer:

·I've definitely been referencing that hodinkee post! The lugs on that one are crazy sharp. The seller provided me another timegraph, apparently, the first one was just to show BPH and he hadn't intended it for beat error, and assures it doesn't need a service as per his watchmaker who took a look inside.
The guys got a great transaction history (230+ positive transactions) so I jumped in. Looking forward to it arriving!

·I believe that this movement has a lift angle of 48 degrees, so the amplitude will not be correct. Nothing to worry about necessarily, but given the inconsistencies with the timegrapher traces and the incorrect lift angle, I would just take those readings with a grain of salt and have the watch checked out by your own watchmaker.

·Does anyone know for sure what size strap these vintage conquests take? From the ad it looks like there's a 19mm on there but it seems a little squished and I'd assume a watch from this era would be an 18mm?

·Most vintage conquests are 18mm, this reference 9045 is a very annoying 18.5mm

·Now in your wedding day, make sure you get a really good shot of you thrusting your arm in front of your wife’s face so the photographer can get a really nice shot of it. I’m sure you’re wife will find it just as funny.

·I can't say anything about the watch.
But I can say this. "Congratulations on your wedding."😀
