··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersHello valuable OF Members
I once again need your opinion on this Connie 168.004 offered to me locally.
To me all checked although it is a little bit soft regarding case sharpness but still a pleasing piece for 850$USD.
What are your thoughts please.
Thank you in advance.
Looks pretty good to me
Case isn't that soft - the lugs appear to still have their facets
The dial has some bubbling - but I suspect that its not too obvious when worn
Some signs of rotor rub - and it needs a case gasket.
Pie-pan dial, onyx inserts, original hidden crown - what's not to like
Only issue is that it looks like a replacement crystal which has a retaining ring which is too tight against the indices
IMHO, I think its worth the money

Where I am servicing this one is not that pricey and so is the o ring gasket.
Btw and for my education why did you say "retaining ring too tight"? Because I don't see it obstructs dial letterings... Tks.

its the proximity of the retaining ring to the ends of the indices that looks too tight - there should be more of a gap
(also the proximity to the SWISS MADE)
whilst visually, the closeness of the retaining ring looks uncomfortable, crystals/retaining rings do form part of the waterproofing system in a Constellation - so its always best to get a genuine Omega replacement.

·I eventually acquired this Connie via some trade in.
@Peemacgee Retention ring is not that tight to my untrained eyes. What do you think? Thank you for feedbacks.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersWell, it appears to have an Omega crystal, so I'm going to guess that the retaining ring is ok.
Congratulations on your new purchase.
