Used buyer checklist

  • Confirm the exact reference and dial configuration before paying
  • Check the case sides and lugs for scratches that reduce value
  • Check that the crystal fitted is the original type for this reference
  • Confirm bracelet or strap completeness and any spare links
  • Verify the crown action and the date change if the model has one

Known issues and pricing traps

  • A thin used discount often makes a new purchase the better route
  • Expect normal depreciation, not a windfall
  • Wrong-reference comparisons distort value badly on similar-looking models

How this price range is set

Editorial estimate for the US market, not a live quote. Bands reflect typical retail and second-hand pricing for this reference and are revised when sold-listing evidence arrives.

Ranges are reduced for condition, missing links, no box or papers, unknown service history and poor photos, and adjusted when current new-watch discounts make a used price unattractive.

FAQ

What price should I target for the Longines Conquest 38mm Blue?

Use $1250 as the good-buy target. The fair used range is $1100-1600, and a used listing above $1800 needs unusually strong condition, completeness, warranty or scarcity.

Should I buy the Longines Conquest 38mm Blue new or used?

Compare the used asking price with the current new online band of $1600-2050. If the saving is small, buying new can be safer because you get warranty and cleaner return rights.

What changes the value most?

Condition, box and papers, bracelet or strap completeness, service history, seller reputation, warranty status and unusually poor listing photos move the real transaction price.

What should I check before buying used?

Check the exact reference, case and bracelet condition, movement/module function, service or battery history, seller feedback and whether the price still makes sense after tax, shipping and return risk.
