    I think the reference is 869113/01 if you wanted to search for others to compare this with.

    I'll do the easy bit and list a few things that I don't think are ideal with the watch:

    - the case looks to be have been overly polished, losing some of its original crispness, although this is perhaps less of an issue with this case shape
    - the crystal should have a cyclops for the date window and is therefore not original
    - the dial has some ageing/patina
    - although the crown is signed, I'm not sure it's original to this particular watch

    There are plenty of positives but I suspect there may be a better example out there.

    Except the crown and the crystal (pretty rare) everything is correct for this model.

    The crystal should have the "U" logo engraved but (it seems) not a cyclops on this model.

    Dial is original, hands are ok.

    Concerning the case I agree with @Mazoue, a bit over polished as it should normally have more sharp angle. Here are pictures of the one like this I had :

    +1 on the over polished case.

    On a separate note, nice avatar. Love the curved profile of a Super Connie.

    Excellent dial

    What about the 'Swiss T'?
