Totally agree. This case is actually for a 1011 movement - notice the difference in the script. Its the post 751 script as the C-shaped 751s had the original Connie serifs.

This guy is a cockroach of the first order and it is truly a mystery how has has achieved the feedback score he has. There must be a lot of neophyte buyers out there

Somehow he's got hold of a 168.005 case back and then pulled out any old bit from the drawer
: Here's my WAT day addition.
: It's a 60s/70s Constellation, quite a bit like

: Anyway, it looks straight up to me. But rather

: So why don't these Connies get any respect?
: They sport a very nice 751 automatic

: case is quite attractive--a little bit
: unsual without being downright funky like
: other Omegas of the day.
: It also wears well--it's a nice medium size
: watch, and both the time and day date are
: legible. It's a really nice dress watch,
: with a chronometer movement for the
: collector, and an elegant and understated
: look that would complement a nice suit or
: even a tux.
: And yet, this one can't fetch $400.
: If it were a similar Rolex--and it could be
: mistaken for an Oyster Datejust from a
