Crown is not original

How about movement shots???

Asking price is?

Thanks, I’ll get a movement shot. I know @STANDY has a Connie with this style of crown

No better pics I’m afraid.
Haha I’m being told now that it shouldn’t have lume plots. I don’t suppose there’s any way it came with lume hands and no hour marker lume from the factory? 🤨

The odds of every single lume plot to have fallen off would be pretty low wouldn’t it?

There might still be lume on the 10 and 11 index - terrible photos, so difficult to tell.
If not it certainly has the concave pocket for lume at the end of the indices.

The watch should have lume - it has lumed hands and at least one T at the bottom of the dial.

Watches frequently have all the lume removed if some of it is missing (looks neater than bits missing and cheaper than replacing it)

Thanks for your reply, yeah I can sort of see some now, just crummy pics. Thanks !

I’d ask for better photos, but it does look like the lume is still there on at least some of the markers.

None on the 3,6, 9 or 12 because I don’t think there should be, but otherwise confirmed 🥰

Not a redial, but the dial has certainly yellowed/darkened with age and there is some spotting. I see some corrosion on the hands. Impossible to evaluate the case and lugs without better photos, but the case back certainly shows some wear. Medallion is decent though. Movement looks like it could benefit from cleaning and lubrication. I think that the crown is incorrect. What is the asking or current auction price?

Oh I agree, yea dial certainly isn’t very pristine! That’s interesting because seller claims it’s serviced 😕
It’s 1600 usd asking

There should be lume on the 3,6&9 too.
The original lume appears to have been removed and replaced with Kryptonite. 😉

Should there be lume on 3,6,9? Really?

I know that prices for the 167.005 and 168.005 have gone through the roof of late, but $1,600 seems high for this one unless there are some much better pics.
