Hello OF,

I'd like to have your opinion about a little connie seen by a friend at a local watchmaker.
Can't say much about it, but it's in solid 18c gold, onyx markers, original crown and powered by a 561 cal. so I guess from the 60's.
No other pictures unfortunately, but I was told it was running quite smoothly.
My friend told me the price was a bit less than 2000 (euros) and he was wondering if it was worth a shot.

Thank you for your advices !

S.

Looks like a 168.004?

Based on this photo the case looks polished.

Dial would make this one a pass for me regardless of price.

BTW the crown is too deep should be much shorter, virtually flush.

Wasn’t there someone here just recently who considered paying 4.5k for one? This is less than half that - and I’d still politely decline.

@Spayculoos with a bit of patience, a better condition can be found for maybe even the same amount or just slightly more. Your friend isn’t likely to remember the extra waiting time a decade from now, but looking at his/her wrist he/she sure will remember the reward of being patient.

Hey folks,

First Post here.

I've inherited my dad's vintage Seamaster 600 purchased 1967 from Saudi Arabia.

Welcome any more information.

I'm interested in getting it serviced and in two minds about part exchange.

Any servicing tips? Do I need to go to a specialist, can I find them on most High Streets (I'm based in London)?

What would I expect to pay?

For part exchange, any good dealers worth talking to?

Its got a few scratches, and was wondering if its worth getting that repaired or replaced?

Thank you in advance

It would be better to start a new thread.
