Hi

What can be said about this 14k 168.005? I've asked the seller for better pictures. He wants $1300 for it.

 

Thanks for the confirmation. I got another set of pictures but really nothing better. I took my chances and bought it. Will post better pictures when it arrives.

There's one thing that puzzles me. There seems to be "holes" on the back of the lugs on the crown side. What can that be, casting faults?

 

$1300 is a steal

 

I thought the Constellation backing is meant to have different sized stars? In a clockwise direction, Big, Big, Small, Small, Small, Big, Small, Small.

 

I have 3 Connies. 1 (Pie Pan) is as you describe. The other 2 ('C' and f300) are both the same as the OP's

 

Ah sorry. It was more a curiosity based question rather than a "you have a fake" statement.

 

Thanks for the answers, I'm really eager to have a better look at this. Suddenly, my gold capped Pie Pan is surplus ;-)

 

You couldnt have too many vintage connie pie pan....

 

$1300 for a solid 14K pie pan? Wow, the possible sale of my gold capped version has been postponed a bit now

 

Good point. Here's the other one, ref. 14393 from 1960, gold capped:

 

Hoho, got it yesterday. Here's my pictures:









Looks better than I expected, very happy! Just a slight patina on the dial, hardly visible without a loupe.
