Dog leg lugged SS Connie pie pan 168.005 cal 564

Dial is not spotless, but not too bad either. Best offer available.

minute markers missing from 10 -2 and looking at the fonts I would call a redial -too heavy and no serifs on the lettering
here's my 564 168.005 -close up

Good catch on the minute markers, but the fonts look good to me.

Indeed good call on the markers. Seem to be polished off (perhaps in an attempt to clean the smudge). Fonts look good to me.

Here's the font on my 168.005 cal. 561. Looks the same as in the auction's.

I was comparing to a similar era -564
but whilst admittedly the pics on the 'Bay aren't so clear to be sure -yours looks much nicer -with finer font lines and the little downward 'ticks' on the cross bar of the Ts are very clear-which appear to be missing from the ebay watch -might be just the resolution though

Dial enlarged. Looks like someone has had to tippex out.

A wise move me thinks 😉

I´m out of the market but if I was in it I´d be seriously considering this Seamaster 300 CK14755.

Relumed hands and/or Aldo insert not a real concern? Agree it's absolutely beautiful!

For me not a concern at all.

As a complete package I think the watch looks great, the filled hands seem to match just fine and if the bezel insert was already damaged/missing then having an Aldo fitted saves what can be very time consuming job.

And the extract is always nice too for peace of mind

It will be interesting, there are lots of Speedmasters on the market on a daily basis which generally gives a good idea about where certain models in various grades of condition will end up.

Not quite the same though with the straight lug 300's, they are few and far between, especially the nice ones.

If this one runs it course it will be a good test of the market. I'll have a guess at €4755 😁

The value of this one will lie between one in similar condition with a nice original bezel and one without a redone bezel.

Less than one day left, and I'm surprised that no one has bid on this "date at 6":

Not the greatest condition, but fairly priced for now.
