    Hello Guys,

    I've been scouring the web for a good constellation for a while now and am considering the attached. The only issue I have is that

    1. I know next to nothing about these other than aesthetically they really appeal to me.
    2. It has been offered to me at a price I would consider too good to be true. So alarm bells are ringing.

    Could anyone shine some light on the originality of the parts/dial from the few photos i have attached, or point out anything that would make you avoid this at all?

    Really grateful for any info you guys can share with me.

    Generally nice domed dialled cal 551 model . Case is not over-polished and the lugs are still quite sharp. Dial is original and movement looks clean. Crown has been replaced at some stage. Watch will probably need a service, and the case back gasket looks to me to be in need of replacement.

    How too good to be true?

    Cheers

    Desmond
