    Looks like bezel is missing, dial condition is not so great, faded black paint on hour marker tops. ::facepalm2::

    Maybe powered by a 564.

    Both 561 and 564 can be correct for 168.005 case

    Check the serial of that 561, if it is lower than 24 mil, the original 564 was swapped.

    You can clearly see shadow the cast by the missing onyx.

    A little cosmetic surgery and that watch isnt a bad first vintage. Mentioned the dial and missing markers to Stef. But I didn't notice the bezel on my iPhone :unsure: I would either ask for a refund or source a new bezel depending on what you bought the watch for.

    Ok, so : the seller is ok for a total refund (he Didn t notice the bezel missing...) or to find a bezel ...

    the original price is relatively Low (less than 700 $) / the dial is not perfect of course but for that price it s fine for me :)

    hard to take a décision

    BTW thanks for the information about the famous 100.000 !!!!!
