    Hi mates,

    I recenlty saw a perfect 168015 for sale. I won't tell the price here in order to have non biased adivce. The question is how much would you pay for it. The buckle is not original, the rest is perfectly like new. Sold on a leather strap.

    Hi

    It depends... is the example your looking at 18k solid ? or gold / steel ?

    I never owned this ref , but always like the idea of the monocoque case design.

    Looking forward to hearing more.

    Good Hunting

    $1.

    No, wait......$2.

    Okay, okay...... if it's solid gold I'd go as high as $8.76 but no more!

    Without good pictures to assess condition and the case material, this thread is pointless.

    Do I need to post a bunch of gifs?

    More info like....

    Where is this being offered?
    Is it a reputable seller?
    "Perfectly new" does this mean it's single owner or a refurbished?
    I also notice many members require a movement photo to assess possible serving charges to consider when pricing. It's near impossible to give you a proper response with just a single shot of the dial.
    Photo of the crown?

    Happy Hunting! Love your taste! Just need to track down the right buy,

    Thomas

    Thomas, the OP specified that the watch he pictures is NOT the one for sale, just an example of what a 168.015 looks like.

    Excellent generic answer for a very generic original post.

    I tweaked my post. Thank you for brining this to my attention. All other pieces of my post should apply to the OP! Now that I know this, I see why your gifs were called in....

    Best,

    Thomas

    Hu guys,

    I forgot to mention it's 18k gold. Ulackfocus, excuse me not to put some pics but it woumdl show where it's sold and I wouldn't like to miss it ;)
    TTG, it's not the same one as on ebay. This is a 18k gold dial.
    MP, the watch is sold buy a "gold meller" looking at the pics, the watch was not polished nor redone. Sharp angles, beautifull dial.
    well after all here's a pic...

    It's in excellent shape. The only issue I see is a careless strap change (edge of the underside of the lugs has scratches). The problem with giving an estimated value is there are very few 18k specimens to compare. What is the seller asking?

    Wow, that's a lot for what's probably one of the least popular Constellations powered by the 56x series.

    But that's NOT a pie pan. If it were, the seller would be asking more. ;)

    I know that. Actually it would be a nice compromise between paying 3000 euros for a beautiful a pie pan having a nice connie and buying a poor exemple. I really don't find its design ugly. What do you think?

    I like that watch. I've owned a couple - one gold capped, one stainless steel.
