    Close but no cigar. Maybe my one and only c-shape connie is closer to a 9.5?

    Ive not come across both 'n's in Constellation being straight like that before. Is that a particular model, or Is it because its 18k? Don't they usually curl under, the last n being slightly more curved?

    That style was used in some connie dials from the mid to late 60s onwards.

    I have always loved the 'C' because of its weight and very simple dial furniture.

    Yours is definitely in spectacular condition.

    Thank-you.

    I don't know what I'd rate my 168.009 - never entered my mind that I'd need to use a 1 to 10 scale. :confused:

    Maybe you need to open your heart and give that watch some love and resign yourself that is your baby.:D

    Thanks for the tip Jane Seymour. :p Have you been hanging around the Hallmark store again? Every Valentine's Day your wife has to drag you out of that place.

    Just curious...........why the medallion in C case Connie gold doesn't have bricks in its observatory when the SS and gold capped have bricks?

    Without going all Jane Seymour on you, something that lovely doesn't need a scale mate. Everyone can plainly see its beautiful.

    Its not only the bricks in the medaillion, the gold capped like the CD168.017 have also a silver dial IMG_2587.jpg
