Hi Forum

looking at a local sale for a constellation 167.005 that I consider , but I think it is over polished correct ¿

still leaning those constellations from my side.

The dial has been refinished in the past.

It has been polished quite a bit. If you can get it for $500-600 though, I'd say that's a solid deal for a daily wearer. Dial seems a little sus though.

EDIT: (Date border is lifting up, and the dial has 'T Swiss Made T' despite being luminous-free)

I'd pass, unless you can get it for $400-500.

The pics aren’t great but I’m not convinced about anything on this watch.
The lugs have no upper facets at all and there’s something about the quality of the dial that sets alarm bells ringing.
I’d like to see the case back, inside and out, and the movt.

definitley one to avoid IMHO.

Also, possibly just a typo but the reference would be 168.005, as the 167.005 is the no-date version.
