Just mindlessly looking through as you do and I cam across this. Mid 60s C case with a caliber 561. Seller is asking $650. Thoughts?

I see nothing but trouble, with severe rotor rubbing to boot

what do you see?

I see something my mind is telling me not to buy. Is it worth the price tag?

You can find a nice one for that money.

Too much wear, tear and dial damage for the price (or any price for my taste- but I can’t do dial patina). Better examples can be had for the same money

Ahhhh thanks you guys! Just wanted to throw this one out there and see what the experts thought. The pandemic has had me looking at too many watches... Not good for my bank account.

These are still cheap enough that you can be very selective.

$650 for that watch is too much.

At this price point you could at least expect a watch that has a clean dial. Maybe, it won't be enough for it to have the original bracelet, nor the clasp but at least a clean looking movement and dial with a not-overly polished case.

For that money I bought myself a gold capped Connie with a pristine linen dial:

Agreed with all above, far too much money for that condition. That’s a $150 or $200 watch in my opinion, and I would avoid it even at those prices.

These do come up every now and then in the Private Sales listings. I bought this one in December from a trusted and prominent member for €610. I think that, if you want a Connie, you owe it to yourself to get one that you can be proud to wear for the smartest occasions. Just my tuppence worth!

Still looking to add one of those but my WTB listing has no replies at all from sellers here except from one folk who asked 4 digit price 😀

If anyone wants to sell let me know..
