Sorry, but ...
I could not help to notice the relative poor shape the dial of your Longines is in.
The process of printing looks like a hand-made job and 'Conquest ' is spelled rather with Q than with G. Most Conquest models between '55 and '60 had yellow- or rose-gold indices, few had white-gold.
Slightly lower-end-of-the-market but identical models were named 'All Guard ' or simply 'Automatic ' that had steel indices and a black (or dark blue) sweeping second. Their 19AS movements were equipped with 17 jewels, against 19 jewels for the Conquest models.
Your winding crown is 100% original; don't loose it because they are very scarce!
ciao, Ben.

DLC
Thanks! & i customised it...first all matte, then Diamond Like Carbon [ DLC ] coating, dial & handes from the whitegold Daytona version. Rgrds.P
Bitchin'! . . .
. . . reminds me of a PVD Mk II Speedmaster that I've seen on the www . . . delighted, Art
Art, i know the guy...
Art, i know the guy who had the MKII done if its a UK seller. i think DLC is a much better finish even if it isnt properly black and looks to be overtaking PVD in the hi end brands. aftermarket pvd/dlc worries me slightly, not for the finish which in this...
No problem...MORE
Servicing a Rolex or Panerai isn't difficult, go to a good watchmaker and he always can help you... Neat thing about DLC coating is that it is removeble so it always can go into 'original' condition. Rgrds.P...
