well I should have my coffee before I post (my excuse is it's early here)
the watch I referred to was indeed a GC .004 with a gap and a ding but not the same one you posted

·thanks a lot, I sure have some reading up to do. a very new to the vintage watch world, but this one seems original and I "think" the price is OK compared to the competition.
what's your opinion? worth getting it with all those scratches?

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersdepends on what you are after
a new crystal and a sympathetic 'rub' (not polish) would improve the watch enormously
(Often scratches stand out in macro shots but not so much on the wrist)
the case has lost a little definition but the lug facets are still clearly visible
pics aren't the best but the dial looks correct
not very long ago you could get a very nice dome dial hidden crown Connie ( especially gold cap) for this price but the market is moving
Not a collectors piece but a nice enough watch
It will need a service - regulator shoved over to one side and gasket missing
Personally I'd put more money into a better example but it depends on your budget

·@Peemacgee, thanks a lot. I don't seem to find 60s constellation anywhere near this price around now, but may be should wait a bit more. Was thinking of negotiating the price down, but not sure how much a rub and new glass will cost... Thanks for your feedback, the search goes on 😀

A service (the 'rub' would come free 😉) around £200
A new crystal around £50
