Press-in case back and no semi hidden crown? Guessing it’s supposed to be a 168.010.
So case must be fake but what about the dial?
Is this a known fake?
Sorry about the link and no pics but they’re not coming out very clear, maybe someone can fix for me.

Judging by the medallion it looks like an English made case...

Dennison 9ct? Ask seller for a pic of the inside of the caseback.

I am not interested in buying just curious about the press fit case. I guess case makers of the day didn’t have to stick to the Swiss standards. All makes sense now, thanks everyone.

I'd like to see the inside of the case-back as well.

snap-back Connie from late 60s?
even the British couldn't get it that wrong

dial looks okay from the images we have
but the case is all wrong
lugs too thin and no facets
and that medallion......

Wow, seeing the watch again on a semi-decent screen really wasn't a nice surprise 😵‍💫

Ah ok, so could still be a Franken.
The dial looks ok but what about the missing marker at 3? Not seen that before on dials this late.

Bargain for a gold Connie. 🙄
Really hope the buyer doesn’t rush to OF to show it off
