Black Hobnail 2782 Constellation

Hi All

Putting up for sale my black hobnail Constellation. I'm consolidating my collection to go for a grail vintage Daytona.

Up for sale is a seldom seen watch. I only know of one other held by a great forum member here. I think this one classifies as "rare" though I hate to use words like that.

It is a 2782 Cosntelation and what makes this one special is the dial. There are waffle dial constellations which are uncommon but even more uncommon is the pyramid texture on this constellation termed "hobnail" by collectors. It is seldom seen in any color but black is the most uncommon.

I've had this watch about a year and has been keeping decent time for me. I haven't had it serviced though and only worn it about once a month so if you plan to wear it regularly would plan for a service.

Please see below pictures of the dial and case. Tried to do my best to capture the dial which is very hard to do.

I am in the UK until Thursday and then in the US for the following 2 weeks. I'll be back the UK again after that and then in HK for May. So I can be flexible shipping the watch from any of these countries if it helps.

I am asking 2500 USD for this beauty by either wire or PayPal. I have many reviews on this forum if you search my name.

Any questions please PM me. Thanks Mods and OF for the selling space!

I haven't opened it and unfortunately am on vacation at the inlaws in the UK without any tools. If someone is very keen I can try and find a local WM around here.

Have now arrived to the US so if you're interested I can ship from the US for the next 2 weeks 😀
