    Hi OF

    Up for grabs my stunning crisp linen dial Connie with the white gold fluted bezel.

    It took quite a while to reach the point of this sale, as despite the fact that it simply doesn't get enough wrist time, it is in absolutely outstanding condition, and I do enjoy it on the wrist.

    Mechanically everything is perfect.

    It was serviced in February 2019 by Romain, where he also installed a new crystal. These decased pictures are his pictures, not mine.

    Winding works a charm, as does setting the time. The date-advance mechanism is also very crisp. For those who don't know how it works on the cal 564, its done by advancing the time till just past midnight (at crown position 1) when the date changes, then pull the crown out from position 1 to position 2, to advance the date, and so on, until the correct date is achieved.

    The movement is pristine.

    Dial is also stunning.

    Caseback shows only a few marks from strap changes, and I don't see any end link marks at all.

    As such I could not get myself to fit the bracelet that I sourced (about 14.5cm long, which is the same length as all my other bracelets that fit my 7.2inch wrist). Silly I know.

    It is included in the sale.

    The Case is as good as it gets IMH2cO. All factory original finishes present, with just a few scratches not really noticable.

    Here are some macro shots...so that you can see what you won't normally see.

    Bracelet clasp...#30, 1040. Not much to be said about this.

    This dial is fantastic. And at this magnification, at this angle, is the only way one can see the only flaw that the watch has (which is not visible on the wrist, as its obscured by the crystal from most angles). Can you see it? I bet you did not until now...at the 36s mark...on the edge. I highlight it here, like this, for full disclosure.

    This case is fantastic.

    I am a private collector and not a dealer. This watch comes from my humble collection, which like most of you, is a result of a hobby that takes up far more time (and hard earned money!) than I would like to admit.

    Sale terms and conditions. 1450 CHF (USD / EURO / GBP equivalent) wired directly to my Transferwise account. More currencies are available upon request.

    I will include shipping to wherever you are in the world.


    The watch and I are in Switzerland, and so F2F could happen here. I will accept a wire directly to my Swiss bank account too, however that will be in CHF, and will thus cost you conversion and transfer fees. Paypal F&F will be accepted, in CHF as specified. I use Transferwise as it saves you on these fees, and is a local transaction for us both. Returns are accepted only if grossly misrepresented. You will get what you see in these pictures which are of a decent quality and high resolution, so I don't believe there is any chance of misrepresentation.

    References (by searching the 'seller profiles & review' sub forum).

    I have 100% positive reviews (upon request) on other platforms too.

    Thanks ΩF for this space :thumbsup:

    Just a little note on my price.

    Here is what it cost me:
    Watch head : 850chf. I thought it that nice, and while I don't keep tabs on the market for these, I do see them on social media, and non are this nice (imho, however, ymmv).
    Service : 350chf (plus return train tickets to my watchmaker who is 2h away).
    Bracelet : 200chf.

    Just looking to break even (which is normally my goal) :thumbsup:
