    Hi, I was following this and almost pulled the pin on it. I thought it would go for quite a bit more. Was $608 a very good price or was that reasonable for the shape it was in? Thanks.... so much to learn!

    I think that's a fair price considering dial condition and that it's been polished a little bit. It also could use a seconds hand. Personally I would save up for a better example.

    Ok, thanks for the info. I would rather have a really nice watch so I guess I will have to pay more which is fine. The problem is finding one that I want. Ah well....patience

    I am looking at this too. The problem is the dial in bad shape. You need to spend another 200 - 300 plus watchmaker fee to replace with NOS dial. This pie pan is not uncommon, so many will pop up (including in our FS section) and just keep looking. Good luck.....

    but perfect dial on a 2852 is uncommon.
    Most have lacquer pitting spots. That's just
    what you get with these. Doesn't bother me
    if the case is sharp because I think the case
    shape of these is the best of all the Connie's.
    This one went for $780. Great bargain IMHO 16083448.JPG

    Now there's a bezel you can slice tomatos on.

    There are good deals out there! This one went for $464 and dial looks almost perfect.
