Good day all!
This Connie is a prospective purchase and I would like candid opinions please?
Pros:
Original dial which is quite clean
Serial number, cal. number (561) and ref 168.004 match and date it to 1964
Not overly polished
New crystal (aftermarket)
New rubber gasket
Service crown (better than hidden crown for setting time)
Cons:
Is the case soft?
Rotor is quite worn. However not much evidence of rotor rub on the inside case-back?
Price is $1200 from a dealer.
Pics aren't perfect but this is what I got from the dealer
I am tempted but would like to know if I would be overpaying? These models don't come up that often and I think the dial is very reasonable which is the most important/valuable aspect of this specimen!
