Hi there, got offered this Conquest what are you thoughts on originality (hands, crown, dial)? the case does not seem to show polishing a lot (which might be good or bad ;-) ... well, ... all you can throw in to help out would be welcome cheers Al
Crown not original, and way over polished to my taste. If one were to be open to that degree of polishing, then minimally a discount would be in order. Cheers, Tony C.
Yep, somebody polished the facets off the edges of those lugs. That alone would make it a pass for me. I'd want to see it in person under magnification to check on the scuffs being on the crystal or on the dial furniture. Odds say it's the crystal, but it's better to be safe than sorry when laying out the kind of money these watches command nowadays.
Nope, this is an early model that predates the 6 slot casebacks. It needs that special kinda multi-sided socket wrench looking tool.
