··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersHello @chrispegley
you are only going to confuse the members by posting pics in one thread and the the question in another.
I will reply to the other thread but mods, you may want to help a new member out and combine the threads.

You are going to have to post clear, in focus pics of your watches to get any worthwhile replies
It also seems that you have mixed up the movement pics of you silver dialled connie with the ones of the black dial. (the rotor is a different colour)
If you would like info, we would need clear pics of:
movt serial numbers
inside case backs
pics of the dials with hands away from text
close ups are great but to assess the watch 'in the round' full clear dial or movt shots are better

·Hey Chris welcome to the forum!
I am not sure what kind of information you are looking for
Silver Connie: serial number appears to be 20961353 but its fuzzy. That would date it to around 1963. The crown appears to have been replaced in the past. From what I can tell everything else appears to be original. The case looks to be in very good shape from what little I can see from the attached pics.
Black Connie: Serial number is 24463538 dating it to around 1966. The crown also appears to have been replaced in the past. The dial appears to have been refinished at some point in time. The case is softer than the silver connie so has seen some polishing over its years.
I dont know anything about the third model.
If you have any other questions let us know!

·Great idea to do some research on your watches, I think it will be a rewarding hobby for you. Spend a few months participating on the forum and reading old threads and I'm sure you will learn a lot.

on the focussing problems my camera does not have interchangeable lens I have fitted a macro to the front but am
struggling to get sharp images.
On the other hand the USB microscope lets me go very close but wont let me zoom out to full face
The upload on first attempt omitted the text ?? and again on the second the 3rd attempt successful which explained what
I was attempting .Will now persevere with the macro images.
I am overwhelmed on the scale of content this site offers and am enjoying it considerably .

Thank you for responding your remarks are exactly what I wanted I have had these watches over 20 years and I remember that the crowns were replaced when serviced years ago No other work has been done.
I wear them periodically as I rotate through the collection .DayTo day I wear the only battery watch I own which was bought as a surprise present. Raymond Weil Gardening/DIY/etc

Exactly my point, and use natural light.
