    Stainless steel snap back in unpolished condition, bevel still present on the bezel with a crisp back, signed crown and crystal.

    19-jewel caliber 501 movement, serial number dates this to ca 1955. Service history unknown, running OK, but service recommended.

    Lightly aged original eggshell dial with cross-hairs and nice combination of large multi-faceted gold figures and Arabic numerals.

    35-mm not including the crown x 41.6-mm lug tip to lug tip.

    $795.00, US shipping included, international shipping OK, cost by location.

    Returns only if grossly misrepresented.

    Extremely nice dial! These tend to have shoddy dials and worn bezels - this one is stunning.
    GLWS.

    A lot of watch for not a lot of money.
    Someone stateside should snap this up.

    I don't even like Connies and I am stunned.
    This is a compelling value!

    It helps a collector on a limited budget own a quality watch!
    It helps stem the tide of money-grubbing thiefs, pillaging for all they can get!
    It gives noob's hope to find a jewel if they pay attention!
    It promotes horological values of conservation and education!
    Etc., etc.
    Get the drift?

    I was looking at it yesterday. I used to have the exact same watch (@GregH).

    If I'd be in the money making business, I would have bought this one.

    Stellar buy, buyer.

    Is the second from the left, bottom ss ? It couldn't be wg.

    I am a repeat customer although I observe all the proprieties!

    I am probably alone in thinking that piepans are for baking. Give me this style!!
