Happy New Year to all.
Never owned one like this, so looking for advice from members please.
Is my new purchase OK?
Thanks John.

Depends on how much you paid. From the photos you provided it looks like a decent one. I don't see any rotor wear. The 564 is an excellent movement. Better photos would help you get a better response.

The bracelet is IMO a newer variant that has been fitted later, but other than that I don't see any red flags 馃榾

I paid 拢800.
Don't know if I overpaid but I thought it too nice to miss.

It looks nice but I have only ever seen c-shaped connies with batton hands, and not with these dauphine hands.
Would like to be proven wrong though

I think you may be right about the bracelet. I really need extra links as it's a little small for me. May try black leather band for a while.

They are perfectly correct in this case with this specific dial/indices combination.

I also had my doubts when I was looking for mine, but as @ConElPueblo said, there are some combinations that featured these hands.

Mine (another dial with tritium, crown and no sunburst) for comparison:

Just happy to learn. The few examples on the net with dauphine hands do appear to come with your crown, in stead of that from the OP鈥檚 watch.
Are these earlier or later than the normal stick-hands production?

Congrats John on your purchase! It is an iconic design of the 60s, these Connies. Yours looks very cool with this gray dial and this bracelet, which I had not seen before and IMO matches the watch nicely!

Best,

Rudi

Happy New Year Rudi,
Thanks for your information and photo. Really appreciate your comments, I was fairly sure it was an OK buy but always a nagging doubt until someone with similar can comment.
Best Regards,
John.
