    I'm being offered this 168.005 Connie for a fair price. Despite the sharp case, correct crown and the nice dial I have some doubts. The crystal appears heavily scratched (minute tracks come and go between the pics and so do the fonts), but the serious doubt exists regarding the dial: it appears as if the tension ring or rehaut is faulty. There seems space between the dial and the inner case. Am I right in that aspect?

    Probably non-original crystal (non-ring crystal) used on the watch.

    Correct crystal and tension ring shouldn't be much of a problem, right?
