Hmm nice one, unfortunately us shipping only 馃憥

Ebay says "ask seller about shipping to ****
Contract seller then..
"Unfortunately this seller is not able to respond to your question"

Classic ebay 馃う

Yea it wasn鈥檛 that long ago that a vast majority of watch listings were CONUS only, I used to have to finesse sellers into adding Australia as an option to even have a chance at the cool watches I wanted that we never saw listed down under

Maybe they object to listing delivery to AnUS (Australia, not United States).. FWIW it frustrates me too seeing more listed on ebay.com vs ebay.com.au

Can I say a really big thankyou to @dsio for sharing your ongoing discoveries with us? I just bought this for a smidge over $1k once taxes and shipping were added -- perhaps not a super bargain, but I'm happy as it "completes the set" of c-case dial variants for me. They are harder to come by here in New Zealand anyway, but thankfully I have parents-in-law in the US.

Great all around - that's a nice watch.

A lot of watch for the money.

Nice watch and very well priced. No surprise it鈥檚 gone quickly.
Did anyone here get it?
Impulse purchase while in the crazy long holiday grocery store line.

This is a strikingly nice example of its reference, check out the sharp edges on the case

Does anyone know what reference this is?? I have spent a bit of time now and can't quite figure it out.

165.020 at a guess.

It looks very much like it. The indices at 3,6,and 9 look a little different than the examples I saw. I'm pretty new to this, are there variations within the same reference numbers?

There鈥檚 often a sea of different dial variations for each reference. To put it another way, there鈥檚 isn鈥檛 a different reference for each different dial type.

UK auction house not eBay but certainly worth a look
The case has had a life but it's still all there.
Wonderfully simple, SS, lyre lugs, no-date, 'missing text' dome dial with onyx inserts and cross hair - what's not to love.
Quite typical patinated hands.
Should be a 14381 with call 551
I have an identical watch and when reaching into the box to pick a watch it beats many other supposedly more 'august' Connies to my wrist time after time.

listing says 50s but could easily be early 60s too

Lovely looking Connie
