    Here's mine, I consider myself very lucky with the price paid for it. She looks better in person, and is currently at service. I can't wait to get her back!! I believe she's a 1968 model. Does anyone know what size bands/ straps they take? I've heard conflicting stories between 18/19mm.

    Thanks!

    Good evening to all
    A small impulse purchase, on a model that I wanted to have for a long time a constellation model c of 1967. It is not a pie pan, but given the excellent state in which it was I did not resist. (last watch purchase for 2017)
    here are some pictures
    Good night
    Sincerely
    Georges

    Very nice! I have her slightly older sister. I finally settled on a new Omega steel bracelet. Sort of silly how expensive they are, but still not as much as vintage 1960s, and they do look sharp and feel comfortable.

    Here they are. Seller of the last one screwed me. He didn't tell me dial had been refinished.

    It's 19mm. Where did you hear the 18mm from?

    I love the watch, but everytime I see that sort of metal hardware so close to something that likes to get scratched, I know I would make a mess of it.

    You must be less of a klutz than me.

    I've already posted this once today, but I don't think once more will hurt anything. Black dial with black date disk + rose gold dial fixtures, the only one I've ever seen.

    That is an absolute peach, and really wears well on the mesh bracelet.

    Thank you very much for your kind words! The mesh went on with the change of seasons, it's first time it's been on mesh in years.

    Picked this one up today! Case is a bit rough, but untouched. Dial is in superb condition, original tritium and original crystal (needs a bit of polywatch). The main price here is the bracelet, 1039 with working springy extension links! Only grain of salt (and quite a big one) someone in the past butchered the original 516 endlinks to fit the 19mm conni case. Over all I'm quite happy. Excuse the crappy pics! Better ones and movement shots following the next days.

    Oh and I initially rented a Ford Fiesta to pick the watch up but got a free upgrade to this!! So all in all a Great Day!

    Here's mine, and I absolutely love it! Came back from service even better than when I got it. Absolutely a dream!! With it is my first Vostok Ampibia, which got me started in fine-er watches.

    Also, I'm looking at straps for her.. I' thinking a watchgecko strap, any thoughts on those??

    Yep....couldn't resist jumping on it. It is showing it's age with patina but don't mind it looks so stylist in the flesh and the larger size makes it very usable.
