Any love for these (70's, 80's?) integrated bracelet Connies?

    I had this in the safe for 10 years, always looking for a bracelet link, changing my mind whether to just sell it to keep it.
    I actually really like this model (not sure of the reference) so just held on to it.
    Found a link last week, fitted it and finally got it on.
    I like it, although not fashionable I don't think.
    Thoughts?

    I have hypothesized for years that these TV style watches will be the next wave. I have not been right yet, but I'm not giving up hope.

    I think they're very cool, especially the type/style on the Ref. 168.0062

    They do have the big drawback that you can't change the look by fitting a leather strap and they do feel of their time since this look was much more prevalent in the 70s and 80s than today. I have a few but I do see it as more negative than positive on balance. Not connies I know but closely related.

    You may get your wish, it is on my list of things to move on to make space for the upcoming ST but I haven't got round to writing a listing yet. I have already shifted my Dynamic Chronograph, 2254 and a SMP GMT amongst others!
