Hi all.

For sale is a SS 168.005 Constellation with rose gold furniture. It is powered by a 561 movement which is running strong and correct. Service history is unknown

There is no sign of the rotor touching the case or bridge.
The dial has some small popups here and there and that's why the price is reduced accordingly.
It comes with a SS bracelet with correct endlinks, long enough for larger than average wrist.
Asking price is $1600 usd and buyer pays for shipping.
I will ship internationally by Canada Post and payment can be made via Wise.
Please look at the pictures carefully, because they are the main part of the description. I do not accept return.
If there is something in doubt, please ask questions and I will answer as soon as I can.
Thank you for looking.

Hoi Nguyen.

Lovely piece! If I see correct, the movement is part of "third mile chronometer batch" described in Desmond's blog. That's an extra icing on the cake😀
GLWS!

You're welcome 😀 I was also pointed out by a nice member here and after that I always check the serial nr. Just a really cool thing that whole story.
It takes you back to the time when watchmaking was a true craftsmanship. The prestige race between the brands for absolute perfection in the time instruments. Unlike today, where the only race is about the profit and luxury brand perception.

Anyway, Desmond's blog took many hours of my life but damn there is so much good stuff there.
