I stumbled across this watch on an auction site, and I was thinking I could make a decent purchase. However, I would like to hear your opinion on the watch. I believe it is a ref. 168.010, or around these numbers. The crown is hidden. I find it a bit odd that the dial has gold markers and hands, whereas the rest of the case is SS. Moreover, I cannot determine whether it is a redial, in particular the 'Constellation' seems very sharp. Finally, the lug, located south right, appears to have taken some damage. Otherwise, I think it seems like a solid watch, as the hands are and dial are in good condition.

Let me know your opinion! Appreciated as always.

There are no movement photos nor photos from the back (I assume this is a part of the risk that comes along with the price.)

 

Well I'm wearing a pretty near identical one at the moment - which came with box and papers - so no worries about the gold indices and SS case being original
All looks correct to me
Nice case, damage is minimal
Good dial
Yes I would say it's an 0.10 - especially if that's an 18mm strap
These hidden crown Connies wear big on the wrist - which is a bonus
Movement should be a 564
(Pic under electric light so indices look silver but I can assure you they are gold and onyx)
