I gamble with potentially damaged watches a lot, 50/50 it's a hit, and I believe this green De Ville was a hit, I'm in love with it! And funnily, the 625 movement inside was spotless, the water only stayed inside the dial to form the moss "patina" - Keeps perfect time so far too

This one on its way to my door. It is somewhat of an impulse purchase from eBay.
I'm an enthusiast, by no means a connoisseur. As such, I must admit that I've never seen one of these. I rather like it. Have placed it on my spreadsheet lol

Picked up this 'Luch' intending it as a gift for one of our daughters but her ladyship reckons I am waisting my time as they are both addicted to their Apple watches 🙁
Whatever happens I would happily wear it 😀

Hello forum experts......... I hope that I'm posting this in the correct section of the forum.

I've just purchased a Vintage Constellation from EBay, yes, it was an impulse purchase, but it was also, love at first sight.

Here are the pictures from the sale.

I'd be grateful for any observations, comments, remarks etc on whether the watch is entirely genuine or if anything looks amiss.

(I've been advised that the crown and the crystal have been replaced as the originals were in very poor condition)

I can also tell that the stars around the observatory have nearly all disappeared.

Opinions on the movement, dial, hands etc would be greatly appreciated.

My apologies for the picture quality, but these have been nicked from the EBay sale.
I hate to break it to you but the dial has been refinished at some point

A refinished dial is the least of my worries, but thank you for your input.

Snagged my first watch purchase of 2021




Nothing fancy, and a battery to boot! But I’m smitten
