Hello Dave, welcome to myBulova, this is, arguably one of the most iconic watches Bulova ever made. We will classify this as a 1926 Conqueror as you had hoped. It appears to be in very nice condition, congratulations.
What I find fascinating is that the serial number of this watch case (assuming the first digit really is a '6') falls within what we think is the range of the original 5,000 Bulova Lone Eagle watches. My guess is that this one began it's career as a 1927 Bulova Lone Eagle but suffered a replacement movement at some point.
PS - I did update the s/n in the root record
