    hey guys,

    What do you think about this watch. I think that all is good and not to polished.

    New serviced.

    The end-link seems to be in a wave form. Can it be fixed?

    Thanks to any comment

    Can you post more dials pics? Specifically, closer pics of the various lines of text?

    Also, from the 2nd photo it looks like the caseback may not be gold. That is odd for what should be a solid gold watch.

    I’m wearing my steel version of this watch today.

    The hands on the gold watch look way too thin.

    Not sure what can be done about the links at the top of the watch. Could it be that the original bracelet was tightened and some links were warped?

    Doesn’t seem to be the greatest example.

    I guess that hands are from and older version than your watch , as I have the same constellation C shape from different years and one of them has thin arrows and the other like yours. I am not an expert but I share what I know

    I would agree that the hands are from a “C” case. They would fit this movement, as both use the cal. 561/564/751 series of movements.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen these hands on a tonneau case Constellation like this.

    I think you are right, the hands are a litte bit too thin. I will let it down.

    Straightening the bent link is easy even for me.
