·Hi everyone, first post here at the forum. My name is Ramon, I've been collecting Constellations and Seamasters for 2 years, but only recently looking into the 'earlier' versions, like the 2782 below.
I know that black dials are fairly rare, but I still wanted to ask if you think this one is original. As you can see, the hobnail makes it difficult to read the font. It's an auction ad, so I'm not able to get better pictures than this. For that reason, I'm happy to take a risk if the price is good. I've browsed through the forum, Desmonds database, and some websites, but have not come across a like for like example - so that might be a red flag in itself.
Crown seems to be wrong - I would expect decagonal? Also, it's the first time I see 'constellation' written on the caseback.
Many thanks in advance for helping!
