Thanks Peemacgee.

Two more pics.

it'll be either a cal 561or 564
if it's a quickset date, pull/push the crown to change the date, it's a 564
if you move the pointers back through 9 and then back to 12 to change the date, it'll be a 561

and if you haven't read Desmond's Connie blog already - that's where you want to be

hope that helps

luck lady.....

According to your advice, it seems to be a 561.

Thank you very much for your help Peemacgee 😀 . By the way, I will read carefully the blog.
