Black dial Constellation Verification

[johnk22]

Hi everyone.

I am currently searching for a black dial constellation. I have come across this 2852 reference that seller claims to be all original. It seems the minute and second hands extend slightly past the minute markers. The cutout on the hour hand is triangular. Is this correct? I have seen others with just a straight bar lume. What would be a decent price for this? I appreciate it!

Is there a straight on dial photo? Minute markers looks quite irregular to me.

This is the best I’ve got from the seller

Concerned about the hands, and the irregular minute track suggesting redial
See what the experts think

Everything looks correct and original to me.

It looks like there might be lume missing in the hour hand. Wouldnt put me off necessarily, though.

Thanks everyone!

To the experts above, is it normal for the minute ticks to be in a line between the furniture, vs following a curve/ arc?

Original to my eyes, and that hour hand is correct for a Factory Lume Pkg

Same ref, same hands

Agreed.

Thanks everyone! I bought the watch! I’ll post some pictures once I receive it

is this a correct crown for this reference? Most I’m seeing having the wide decagonal crown

 

[hoipolloi]

Scalloped is good, too.

Thank you!

In my experience, the scalloped crown is much harder to find and, in my opinion, the nicer of the two.

Ooh!

Thin scalloped is good, too.
