·Good evening everybody,
I was wondering if I may ask for your expertise regarding a dial I saw a while ago on a 168.005 Connie, cal. 561. I should emphasize in advance that I’ve seen other redials from that seller (and quite a few) and I’m not intending on buying it - “buy the seller” and so on, also the edges of the lugs seem quite polished and the whole case isn’t in a particularly nice shape, neither is the movement. The smaller stars on the medallion of the case back are hardly visible anymore - I’ll spare you the pictures.
Nevertheless, I cannot seem to forget about the dial. I’ve never seen it on another 168.005, it doesn’t look like what’s so often nowadays being described as “stardust patina”. I know some of you have seen thousands of Constellations, did you ever stumble upon a dial like this - could it possibly be original?
As always, warm thanks in advance! 😀
