Is there some serious damage to the finish on the 7 o'clock lug? Or is that a reflection of some sort? Looks really bad.

My guess is tarnish that was polished off everywhere that they could reach with a buffer, leaving that little crevice un-buffed? Makes me a bit sad.. I wonder how sharp it was before..

OK, that would be much better if it's just tarnish. I was actually worried it was the base metal showing. It's not really a crevice IMO, but it could certainly be some debris or sloppy polishing. At least the OP should ask about it. Better to ask than just assume it's ok.

In your opinion, what would be a good price for a Constellation pie pan in this condition if it's recently serviced? Thank you
I think I would be willing to pay the asking price. You dont see these often with this dial condition. And the 2852 is my favourite connie design with the arrowhead markers. So I would be willing to pay a premium.

Thanks! Unfortunately it looks like this is no longer available. 🙁
It is still available, click on “recommended thread” then on the link In the post.
Don’t know why but here the link does not work

I would suspect this watch is from the 1950s.

Well, at least the crown is wrong.
Agree. 50’s case and I always have thought the shark teeth to be a 59 or earlier thing.

the arrow head markers do appear on early 60s watches too.
14381/14393s and doglegs.
