    The case is a bit too polished for my taste, but the dial is gorgeous! Congrats! :thumbsup:

    Thank's
    But this one has never been polished, I'm quite sure neither of me nor previous owners. It was completely untouched except that service had been done when I bought it for several years ago

    My mistake! :) The lugs looks quite rounded, but that may be the factory specs.

    Lovely watch!

    Thanks
    No problem, it is not always so easy to determine on pictures

    That is how I thought the lugs on a Conquest are supposed to look like: sharp and with clear facets. But since I am no Longines expert, I wouldn’t stand firm on my initial statement :)

    It may just be OP’s pictures that make it look rounder and smoother than it is IRL.

    Thanks for sharing, quite a beauty.

    Question on the lume on the dial - I noticed the hands have either a black inlay or darkened radium. The dial has empty lume plots. I don’t see signs of dial cleaning.. so this was an original option from the factory?

    It's just a shadow that is deceived. Attach another image that clarifies that it should have sharp edges.

    Yes!
    This is what the hands look like after 60 years.

    The hands are radium then? Have you tested by chance?

    Good that you asked about this. I have never checked this as the watch is not used. I have now checked if there was any light from the hands but no reaction at all. The radium is probably too old to give any shine, it has been 60 years now since it was manufactured so that is probably the explanation
