Got a connie recently but it's going too fast. Seller said he checked it before shipping and it was working fine. Not sure why... or what happened during shipping. A kind friend has offered to check and hopefully it comes back ok.

They're one of the classics. You're interested as well?

yeah, but trying to get a decent one (not franken) is getting rather hard.

Which model did you get?

part for vintage watches are typically hard to justify for authentication, most of time is about trust with the seller
