Constellation 561

May have an opportunity to purchase this Connie and would appreciate your opinions on condition. I apologize for the poor photo of the dial, but it's all I have to work off for the time being. I'm looking for a true vintage watch for my collection.

I understand gold cap is not preferred.

Calibre 561. Reference 168005 looks correct. Produced in 1962.

Case back appears ok with wear. Unsure as to extent of polishing. Also unsure if crown is correct.

Can probably pick it up for $550-$600.

Thanks as always.

To my eye the case appears polished, as the facets aren't as sharp as they could otherwise be.

Movement appears clean. No gasket.

Need a clear shot of the dial

( you can edit the title 😉 )

As above the dial needs closer scrutiny. No T next to Swiss Made on a 168.005 with what looks like a lumed dial makes me suspicious. Movement serial no. would also be useful.

Working on better dial photos. Movement serial #203332904.

That’s in range for this reference so a good start.

Please share high-res photos of the dial, if possible. Example of the flawless of 168.005 pie pan dial below. Sold for 1200 EUR.
