·Wow, quite a nice end result for the seller. I had estimated $850 with a top price of $1000 but it went over that.

·Here's another black dialed Conquest 19AS:

Not in quite as nice shape but it's still a great addition for anyone who doesn't have a 19A. Or a Longines at all.

Not all of them. It's either a fantastic redial and replaced hands or a correct non-lume combination. Judging by the font, I'm leaning towards correct.

I'd have to see better pictures of the dial. It could be anywhere from $400 - $850 judging by what that one above sold for. This is one of the early versions of the 900x series (9002). If it were a later model I'd call shenanigans on the hands, dial, and lack of lume.

·It says refinished dial in the listing.
Thank you for pointing that out. I have no idea how I missed that! (if it was there at first and not added later) I'd like to know where it was refinished because it's an excellent job. Question sent to the seller.

We've all done that! You've caught me out on it at least once. It's a visual hobby. 😀

Same seller and both have completely green enameled medallions. Pardon the pun, but something fishy is going on. I'd like to know how / where he got the green restored. It looks like a very good job.
Both are worthy of an offer as the dials do seem original. The 19AS is worth $75 to $100 more than the 291. The asking price of $880 is a little high for the 19AS, but not completely from another planet given what some of these have recently sold for (eh Lou?).

·Newbie question - guys, what's the secret to telling the difference between an original green fish and a restored / re-enamelled (is there such a word?) green fish? Happy to learn more from the experts!

You got me! I've never known of anyone that was confident enough they could do a good enough job to even try.

The basic rule of thumb is simple: if the rest of the watch is not in outstanding condition, then the likelihood that the original enamel survived intact is very small. A quick look at the case on first one in question suggests clearly that the "enamel" isn't original.

You have to lick it. If it tastes like sour apple, then it's Jolly Rancher and not real enamel.

·Wondered what you experts think about this one. It looks a bit over-polished to me, but maybe that's just the photography?
