Hi!
There is currently a cal 561 on sale on the French site Leboncoin.fr, seller is asking 310€.

knowing the price of new parts, I though it may interest someone?

If yes and if you need help dealing with the French do not hesitate to ask me for help !

off course, I’m not the seller...!

That is a nice presentable dial and hand set as well.

Salut Guillaume,

Ha ! I was thinking about this same mouvement + dial when I saw it on CDA and Leboncoin and was thinking about messaging the guy.

Without knowing what is the correct case reference I decided to not go for it as it could look too "frankenwatch" or could be too expensive to source the correct case.

If you end up getting it keep me updated on your progress with it

Owning a Piepan with cal561, and still on the hunt for some nice Connie, I even start to think it would be worth it to have parts for following servicing... don’t know if it sounds weird or safe

My first thought was that someone had scrapped a gold case, but the hands and dial furniture aren't gold.

Yeah it looks like it belongs to a SS case. The guy also (apparently) has the original glass.

Only useful if you want the dial and hands. Majority of parts are available from parts suppliers and other 5XX, 6XX and some 7XX movements

Only other part one could use is the rotor bridge or going train bridge if absolutely needed to replace a damaged one

Only reason for the whole movement is if you somehow damaged the original
