I didn't get the Longines Heritage Conquest Moon-Phase Chronograph,
but that has not stopped me from buying. My recent purchases were from
Thursday April 16/09, which I've bought a 1917 E.Howard 14kt White Gold
Filled Pocket Watch with the serial number 1382257.

The other is a 1924 Waltham 14 kt White Gold Filled Pocket Watch with
the serial number 24470109. Colonial Size Grade 1235 17 Jewels
PS Setting Balance 26 with Material A.

Both watches have the famous 3 finger bridge movement with 3 Position
Adjustment. Kind of resemble an IWC or Patek Philippe manual wind wrist watch.
These watches have been hinged cases with Art Deco designs and both
are converted to 45mm wrist watches.

I have sent the Waltham out to the Workshop to get it CLA and hope to
get back in the next few weeks. Since I get an employee discount on either
purchases or servicing, I thought I might as well take full advantage of my
discount.

I have long since sold off my the watch collection that I had in November.
I am focusing more on American Made Pocket Watches between 1880-1927.
However, this could change as I am more interested in Antique
watches.

I hope that everyone is doing well and when the dust settles,
I 'll spend more time at 3-T.

Cheers,
Simon
