    Hello ladies and gents,

    I had this on my watch list over the weekend, and it finished without a bid on at £600.

    I've spoken to the seller who is a pawnbroker out in Essex - their bottom end is £590... no wiggle... no known service history, looks like theres some wear around the top of the lugs, scratches in the case back, the black is missing from the minute hand.

    Too much for what it is? Or am I being tight?

    This one is mine (seller pic). I got it from a british seller for waaaay less than that. But you need patience. Now, after cleaning:

    Probably had a twistoflex or similar type metal band on it in the past. Not a really bad price, but not a great price ( for UK retail)

    I'd say that's about £150-200 too expensive.

    Yeah... I was thinking £350-£400 would be fair in the condition that it's in.

    The guy did admit that they had "paid over the odds" for it.

    I guess that means they'll be keeping hold of it for a while. ;)

    Love that medallion though. You can still see the grain in the night sky behind the stars. I like the bricked observatory better than the non-bricked too. To me, a Constellation must have a good medallion.
