Your opinion on this Constellation pie pan?

Hello forum,

I'm hunting for a Constellation pie pan. This one shows up in my local market, Thailand. I like the condition of dial and calibre. However, I think the gold is worn out and the case isn't sharp enough, but typical in my local market. I'm not sure if 3 by 2 BOR was correct for this reference, but I also found another 168.005 with the same BOR. The seller asks for $1,570, which will go down a little bit after negotiation.

What do you think about the condition, authenticity of the watch and bracelet, and how about the price? Thank you in advance for any opinion.

I doubt the BOR: show us the inside of the clasp. IMO endlinks should be marked with "70" , the clasp looks suspicious. Should be a 1503.
AFAICS the dial looks OK.
Lets wait for the PRO´s

Something with the bracelet doesn’t look right I can’t tell if it’s been refinished or something more nefarious…

There are a couple of concerns IMHO.

The BOR has been mentioned above.
The medallion is off - seems like a different galaxy to me.
It may be the pics but I’m not sure about the dial.
The vertical through the star should never bisect the ‘e’ and it appears to here.

I'll try to request more photos from the seller. Thank you

the dial looks fine but I always am suspicious whenever someone is offering a really good price

shouldn't it also have a T at the front before "Swiss made"?

Not necessarily.
There are many lumed dial Constellations with just one T
