    What do you think of this constellation. Overall looks like in nice unprepared condition.
    However, not much information from the seller and pics are poor.
    Seller says it is a 37mm jumbo, 20mil 561 movement 168.001.
    Dial is a non 'OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED' which is more likely 14777 but could be an early 168.001.
    The movement seems a bit high for a 14777.
    Crystal is badly scratched and crown looks like later replacement.
    Nice correct looking BOR 1037.
    Looking less than 1k USD

    Come on guys rip it apart..........what have I missed

    Cannot tell you much with those pics and not able to say it is lumed or onyx or whatever.
    Better pictures, please.

    Not sure about jumbo models, but usually steel cases had steel case backs, while GF cases had the gold button.

    168.001's are different, SS case with yellow gold medallion is correct.

    There's no gold filled constellations and all stainless steel constellations before the dog-leg, straight lug and C-cases generations have either yellow or pink gold medallion.

    Based on the caseback type, I'd say it is rather a 168.001 than a 14777.
