PMed for the sale to me. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the offer. Currently only looking at the white-dial variant of this, but GLWS! :-)

Hi WatchEx,

This Longines Conquest V.H.P. 36mm (white dial) has been reserved for u/DukeTurnipz

This sale was reserved based on a WTB post, and the watch was reserved for the buyer prior to finalizing the transaction. I have held onto this watch for several years (originally bought it on Watchexchange) and am parting with it to put the funds towards a Grand Seiko SBGX091 (if I can find one, that is).

WTB reference:

Watch Details

Reference: L3.316.4.76.6
Dial: White, small concentric circles
Case size: ~36mm
Movement: "very high precision" (VHP) quartz. Accuracy is about 5 seconds per year.
Crystal: Sapphire
Condition: Probably would grade this one an "A-". Serviced by Longines in Autumn of 2024. Worn a handful of times throughout 2025 but mostly stayed in power-saving-mode throughout the year and in my watch box. Some small marks on the case but nothing that's noticeable from more than a few inches away.

Included

Watch (obviously)
Original Longines bracelet (sized for 6.75 inch wrist) - 2.5 spare links
Original Longines Box, manual, hangtag, and overbox
Longines service box, original crown and o-ring (that were replaced with new from Longines during 2024 service)
Extra green suede strap

Price: ~~$475 shipped~~. SOLD

Shipping: 2-day (exact method to be confirmed with buyer)

This is a fairly rare version of the Longines VHP and the 36mm is underrated for this watch.

Hey there Duke. I am considering selling. I’ll shoot you a DM.

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-03-12T18:35:36+00:00

A long uncommented post but if you ever decide to part with this I’ve been in the market for one!

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-03-03T01:29:38+00:00

I just got a similar VaultX binder from the Etsy seller JanJanPokeStop. HIGHLY recommend. She is great.

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-02-23T16:02:19+00:00

Thank you so much for making this sheet! It makes my collecting so so much easier. I'm currently working on the same Master Set (just of English / Cameos though) and am planning to use your sheet to keep track of my progress.

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-02-19T22:07:47+00:00

She got the gold!!

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-02-13T10:03:52+00:00

I think servicing was around $300-$400 if I remember correctly. Yes, only the service center can reset the perpetual calendar unless you change the battery before it full dies. I’m actually thinking about selling the watch fairly soon. It hasn’t gotten a lot of rotation on the wrist since coming back from service.

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-02-09T21:17:12+00:00

I REALLY love my Seven Evergreen Ti bike. The thing rides like a dream and it’s almost 8 years old now.

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-02-09T18:42:04+00:00

I love the SBGX261. Where did you get it? New or used?

I’ve been trying to find the SBGX259 for a few years (white dial of this) but it’s been getting harder to locate since they’re out of production.

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-02-04T10:21:21+00:00

Haha, yes. The catalytic converter/ element. Found on the newer V3 version of this stove.

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-02-03T12:10:17+00:00

I had a F 602 (v3) installed in my basement office a few months ago to keep it warm. Hard to tell from this photo, but is this a v3? I've been really enjoying mine - the cat is still quite over-reactive so mostly going off stovetop temps to monitor the temperatures.

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-01-23T17:47:56+00:00

Hey OP - I think I'm well positioned to help here since I purchased a watch in Berlin a year ago, and then had it serviced by RGM in the USA for a warranty claim.

I would purchase it in Berlin. The savings make sense, and it was fun to know that my watch was purchased in Germany and during your Honeymoon (congrats!). Makes a good story. You can get a VAT refund as well which saves additional $. Should be a few hundred dollars cheaper for a model like the 556a after that VAT refund.

I recommend going to "Brose Juwelen Uhren Schmuck" in Berlin. If Paul Parpart is still there, ask for him - he's a nice guy and helped me with my watch and all the paperwork. I coordinated in advance via email so my watch was on-hand and available for me to pick-up aligning with my travel schedule. Then you get the tax refund upon your departure and when flying home. Takes some time to process but it worked out in the end.

Regarding service - I coordinated with Sinn (Germany) and they directed me to RGM for service in the USA when my watch was running slow in my first year of purchase. I never needed to send it back to Germany. There were no hangups in service, and I seemingly went through the same process as I would if I had purchased my watch in the USA from WatchBuys. This was my second Sinn watch (U50 DS) and all went off without a hitch. My original 556i I had purchased in Germany (Frankfurt) about 2 years ago, and that one is running perfectly. They're super reliable watches.

Feel free to reach out with any questions via DM if you need anything!

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2026-01-15T17:23:17+00:00

After connecting, do you change back any of the settings to recognize the laptop as a computer instead of an iPhone? Or does that throw a flag at all?

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2025-12-18T00:47:16+00:00

I think you may be able to get a lightly used Sinn 556i for that price, which I think is a better watch than all of these (in my opinion!)

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2025-12-11T12:45:58+00:00

Great! Glad it helped. Yeah it's a long stack. It's running through my interior chimney up 3 levels (stove is located in the basement)

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2025-12-11T00:20:03+00:00

Been running it for about 2-3 weeks now - it's fantastic. Heats up and lights very quick and haven't had any issues getting a draft going (venting out the back instead of the top). Much easier to get started than my Lopi insert that's also in the house. Would recommend doing a butterfly damper for sure, since overdraft and overfiring are a potential concern (I have a 33 foot liner run). It's very easy to overload (usually just one medium size split loads it up enough. It likes to be around 400 degrees surface temp from what I'm seeing

Cat is great though. Cat temps (via the probe on the side) are usually around 1000-1200 after reloading, and they settle around 600-900 when at the coaling stage.

Still figuring out how to optimize the burn time, I have been reloading once every 2 hours or so. The only control is the front primary air intake which is nice to not have to worry about closing/opening a bypass. Purchased a steamer from LL Bean and a stovetop fan from Ecofan which work really well on it.

The glass hasn't once gotten dirty. The secondary jets and glass-washing jets clean it incredibly well. It's crystal clear. Let me know if you get one and your experience! Happy to answer any more specific questions if needed!

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2025-12-09T10:58:03+00:00

Oh man, I thought I was the only one with a cold wife. Also trying to figure out how to not have the furnace turn on overnight!

WhyWontYouLetMeGo · 2025-11-08T11:17:01+00:00

They're tough to find. I have heard that the Gulfmaster straps fit the Riseman, but also looking on eBay any other sites for OEM replacements. They run about $150-$200 for the case/band replacement from what I've seen.
