    Hey guys, first time poster, long time stalker.
    I was gifted this old connie that used to belong to my grandfather that has been sitting collecting dust in the attic for 10 - 15 years.
    The watch seems to be functioning but it needs a lot of work. The watch clasp is broken and the bracelet probably has had a few links removed (I have 7 inch wrists and it's a bit too tight to close even if the clasp worked). Id like to know which specific reference/model this is and how much would those repairs and servicing would cost, and how much is the watch actually worth. Id never sell it, but being a student I can't justify spending more to fix it than what its worth right now. I'm basically looking for anything and everything you can tell me about it. There's absolutely no inscriptions or logos or anything on the entire watch aside from the dial. Please excuse the crappy pics, I had to use an old Samsung s2 till I can get my actual phone fixed. Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Your grandfathers watch dates to around 1974 - 1980.
    Not really a collector model so value will be quite low, in full working condition probably around £150.
    The closest reference I can find is 355.0814.
    I expect finding spare links will be quite difficult.
    Hope this helps
