I have a fifties Connie and a sixties Connie. I do like the C-cases in the seventies and the f300 maybe I will get around to an eighties Manhattan some day.
It would make for a nice row in a watch box.
I’m a big fan of C case style watches. Can’t go wrong with a C-case Constellation. They came out around 1965 and the caliber 564 version ended around 1972 so you can still check the ‘70s decade. Mine dates to 1971. I still think of it as more of a 60s watch since it came out solidly in that decade. I’ve also thought it would be cool to have a Constellation from each period.

Very nice indeed. +1 for the linen dial. It renders amazing on this model
Needs more photos to evaluate, especially the case at various angles. Some of the dial issues may just be scratches in the crystal. Also the spots maybe less noticeable in person.
Could be a nice wearable, but not a collector grade.
Price is important.
