    For sale my lovely Conquest ref. 9000-11 with cal. 19AS inside. I call it 'collectors grade' as it was found by me in really good 'barn find' condition, I did nothing to it not even polish the crystal (can easily be done if you would want that). The watch is fully original, including crystal and crown. The radium is all there. Truly a honest example, with very nice dial condition, difficult to come by these days. The affordable Arrowhead icon from the 1950s.

    Longines Conquest ref. 9000-11
    35mm excluding crown, 18mm lugsize
    1956 serial number
    The watch is sold head only
    Shipping happens BOMB-PROOF (box in box) and through UPS with Secursus insurance
    The watch is located in Belgium (EU)
    Cal. 19AS
    Asking price: EUR 1.490 net to me

    Case, caseback, crystal and crown
    Full stainless steel case, unpolished, in very nice shape with sharp lines and facets. The signed onion crown is the original one. The crystal as well, unpolished. Good screw caseback with the fish in nice shape.

    Hands and dial
    The dial is in beautiful condition, no scratches or similar blemishes, only a bit of light ‘spotting’ patina mostly visible on the right hand side but not that notable. The slightly corroded hands are wonderful and the radium shows the same ageing as on the dial. The solid gold arrowhead indices are striking.

    Caliber and service
    The 19AS caliber runs structurally sound, and I did not notice huge daily deviations while on the wrist. The service history is unknown to me. Winding goes very smoothly. Everything works as should.

    Returns are of course allowed if I misrepresented the watch or the condition.

    Some feedbacks on this forum (I have a couple other here on the forum and many many others worldwide, you can also find me on IG username life.between.lugs):

    Some pictures (the fun part upload_2024-1-20_20-7-51.gif )
    Note that, as said, I wanted to keep the watch completely as found and thus have not polished the crystal. Any important blemishes you see are on the crystal, not the dial.

    In fact, yes! Very clean. Note that the number on the back of the lug matches the one in the inside caseback, as it should.
