Been obssesed with Connie lately 馃榿馃榿
What endlinks do you have on the BOR bracelets for your dogleg Constellations? The 570 endlinks that came with my 168005 seem too shallow and I suspect they should be 522s instead.

Both my BOR fitted to the 168005 are fixed endlinks ( there is a tube inside the endlink for the pin), some told me that they are from Japan market but I am not sure.

Mid 1950s 2782 with bumper movement. Was bought from the son of the original owner - one-owner-watch. Had to drive 11h straight yesterday to get it, but with great pleasure. Came with the original box and buckle. Over the moon with this one.

My very first vintage Connie, an unusual 14393 Calendar. Just picked it up two days ago.
Crown unlikely to be original, but got this at a very reasonable price. Very pleased.

Unlikely but not impossible - ads of the time sometimes show them with the "Seamaster" crown.

And I thought I was nuts for driving 6 hours! Well worth it though.
