    Hi all,

    It has been a while since I posted. I've come across this listing on the bay:https://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-Cons...136952?hash=item3d90f76338:g:JiEAAOSwihldTPtvPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I've been looking for a dog leg Connie like this for quite some time and the price seems reasonable. Looks to be a cal. 564 with a 24m serial number. Ref. 168.005

    It does look to have been polished, but to my eyes it does not look bad at all. I've been unable to find the 168.005 from the omega extracts so i'm unsure of authenticity. Any advice?

    Thank you,
    BurntAvo

    Watch was authentic IMO. Crown was modern replacement.

    Movement had several different colors in the photos shown. Could be a put together or could be camera angles.

    Don’t think it was anything special at that price. There are plenty more that are nicer.

    That's good to know. I haven't seen anything similar for a better price than that (connie, dog leg, pie pan). Do you currently know of any that are nicer with the above requirements? Thanks

    Yes, but more than $2k.
