Just got it today. The guy I got it from knew nothing about it. I showed him how to advance the date, wind it, etc. It is one of those little crown models that are hell to wind with the fingers...better to shake it back and forth for a couple of minutes or get one of the little tools like I use to wind the Constellation. This watch feel very smooth and is keeping good time. A yellow gold cap, nice looking dial, and an unworn case back.

You will have to open the case back in order to see more details. Reference number, caliber etc. In my opinion the case back seen seen a lot of polish..Personally I like the watch.

If it's a replacement case back, the reference on the inside may not actually be the actual reference of the watch.

As noted above, the case-back is not unworn, but polished to the point where the original shape is almost unrecognizable. I guess this is one of those 36mm references, like 166.028 or something like that. Overall I'm not crazy about the condition of the dial or case either TBH, but none of this is relevant if he already owns the watch.
