    Hi all

    Someone locally has this one for sale:
    48_1654283345.jpg

    168.005 I believe. I don't have better pictures yet. The dial looks ok. Crown is a replacement. 18k pink gold according to the seller. Would $3k be too steep if it's not too polished?

    The lugs are rather polished, would be helpful to see the back and inside.

    Is the Dial tilted to the right slightly or is it just the angle of the picture?

    I'd love such a pink pie pan... But these lugs are too polished for my linking.

    Dial looks clean. 12 hour marker looks a bit weird, perhaps a distortion/reflection?

    Think it's the angle. Scroll down so the bottom tip of one lug hits the bottom of your screen. You'll see the other lug doesn't align.

    You're on to something.

    Drew a line through the middle of the lugs.

    It's just the angle. Looks as if the watch is tilted slightly to the left.

    Is it powered by a quickset 564? I can see some faded black painted markers there (?)
    3k is a bit too much. You need money to buy an original crown and have those markers changed.

    You're right, but the exact reference is 168.3004... For French market if I am not wrong... Making it a little bit less common... Especially in solid rose gold... (Special thanks to Desmond who took the time to explain me about this rare reference)
