·Hey guys,
Appreciate the help in my former thread.
I'm still looking to buy a watch (for my father as a gift to his upcoming birthday) and I've stumbled across the following 60's Constellation. The seller hasn't got serial numbers or pics of the mechanics, but he guarantees that it's 100 % original and not a frankenwatch. And he says that I can just have it confirmed at a watchmaker afterwards and he seems quite legit.
I'd love to hear you guys' opinion on.
a) Does it in fact seem original; crown, dial etc? And does it seem to be in good condition to your eyes? There seem to be some small dots on the dial, but I can't really tell what it might be.
b) If it is original, would $550 seem like a fair price in your opinion?
I'm sorry about the noob questions, but I'd really like to avoid getting burned - also, there's quite a distance to get to the seller. And sorry about the bad quality of the photos - they are the only ones he provided.
Thanks in advance!
