Conqueror or Lone Eagle?

Submitted by NOVA on February 19, 2011 - 1:57pm

I've been reading all the great information put together regarding the Lone Eagle.  Impressive and very informative!  Based on that reading, it would appear that I have a Conqueror with the Lone Eagle design on the case.  Or did I miss something?

Woof.... sweet watch either way.  I can never tell the difference because I don't have either yet so I haven't been delving to much into it, but yeah.  Nice one!

That is a Magnificent time piece. The 10P movement & the 1926 date stamp/case serial number & patent JUN.10.1924. Indicate to me that it is pre-Lindburg or designated a Conqueror. Please log your movement serial number in the watch data. The hands set is beautiful & quite uniqe, I have never seen that hour hand design before.

Ahh I wish I could find another 10AN hairspring for my much loved LE thats sitting there silent...just waiting to jump back to life again.

Movement model and serial number indicate a Conqueror. Not sute the hour hand in original as they usually have the rounded spade shape, but very nice all the same.
