Hi all,

My first weekend in Zurich and I couldn’t avoid to visit one of the most famous flea markets there. After half a hour or so I was losing hopes to find something remarkable, until I found this amazing little corner, full of gems. These pictures don’t give justice to the amount of nice pieces there were, but I still wanted to share them with you, and hear your opinions. The more I look at the full set Constellation, the more I want to buy it.. but I would also like to hear your opinions about the 320 in pink gold, which the guy said is super rare.

That cal 320 is 100% redial. I have seen hundreds of cal 320s because I like them and this has wrong typography.

The steel chronometer appears like the pick of the litter based on your photos. If the price is fair, I'd be tempted.

Looks like a great stall but, to fair, the photos you’ve posted are, sadly, not good enough for anyone to hazard a guess, much less give a worthwhile opinion

Man, I wish flea markets were like that around here. I've given up in NL as mostly it's of grade one landfill quality.

That full set constellation would be nice. How much is the seller asking?

I feel you.. I’ve been living in Amsterdam for 4 years and I never managed to find anything like this

Fun to see vintage watches in-person like that. Not sure which full-set Constellation you are referring to, but the steel Constellation looks nice at first glance. The overall condition of the gold one isn't appealing to me.

I am sorry, I just took quick pictures and I was quite excited about the full set ones so I shared them here.. if I go back and decide to further discuss one of the pieces, I’ll make sure to take more and detailed pictures

Yes I am referring to the Constellation in steel. Isn’t it full set? It comes with the original box and signed warranty

Tell us please the prices ....

I've spent plenty of time in Zurich, and can virtually guarantee that they won't be cheap!

This is what I was thinking too....I'm still paying off the loan I needed to take for dinner for two in Bienne a few years ago...
