    Very nice Connie Rose Gold Deluxe !!!! Case is a bit polished but still fine. Dial looks original to me and in good shape. Movement also looks good.
    Second hand and crown are replacement. While finding replacement is rather difficult, most people (including me) would not mind with that.
    This watch looks much better in reality, and rose gold worth the premium over yellow one.
    So yes, it is worth to negotiate the price.

    I am a bit out of touch of current price range, my guess would be around usd 3800 to 4200

    I am picky about these watches and in this instance the polishing of the case would bother me and I would wait for something with an unpolished case - mind you for a rose gold deluxe connie that might take some time - might be a few years but I think is worth it.

    If the price was right I'd buy and still keep looking. As MSNWatch said getting a better condition piece could take years and they wont be getting cheaper. It could be you'd make a decent profit selling this on to go towards buying a better example.

    I found my original vintage connie pink gold crown from generosity of a member here. That's after more than a year searching ebay high and low.
    So yes you might get lucky, and this forum probably the best source available in this planet for searching this thing.

    Nice watch, the clover crown that's on it right now looks pretty good. That's not the easiest piece to find either.
