This connie has come up for sale and with a generally green light from the eyes and minds at OF, I'd like to get my hands on it. The numbers seem to check out based on some of the 168.004 images I've seen before, but wouldn't mind a second look from some sharper eyes.

Other than some rotor wear and maybe(it could just be the pictures) some case polishing, looks good to me.

In hand, evaluate the bevel on the bezel(looks good) and the bevel on the lugs(pictures are bad).

Comes down to price, and that is up to you.

Sadly I don't have the opportunity to evaluate in hand. Which is why I'm so happy to have the forums to lean on in the absence of being able to touch it pre purchase.

I really don’t like these photos.
I would prefer to see some unfiltered pics in natural daylight. Too much can be hidden with shots like these.

They wouldn't be proper internet photos if they didn't hide the flaws right?! I hear you - I requested better photos but haven't heard back yet.
