Just seeing this now. I usually have all of my watches serviced but chose not to with the 18k rail track because it would be a bit devastating if the dial was inadvertently scratched. So can鈥檛 confirm whether the dial is solid 18k but it certainly looks solid gold IMO

Dibs, please 馃榿 What a beauty.

What would be the correct crown for this reference? I've seen various coming by..

Good looking watch.
Since no-one answered you here and you also mentioned it in another a thread
No, the thick crown isn't correct for this reference.

There are two possible correct options:
The standard thin decagonal crown
The thin scalloped crown.

hope that helps

@Peemacgee , can it be either of this?

Regards,
Teerapat

Thanks for sharing, great reading indeed! I don't have any experience in sourcing watch parts, crowns.. I started looking on Ebay and came across these three.
- One seems thin scallop, the advertisement says 'Yellow Gold Plated Crown Diam. 4.5MM Nut 0.9 MM EP 2.2'.
- One decagonal Di谩m. 5MM Tuerca 0,9 MM EP 2,5 MM
- And then a last one that says 5mm x 3mm

Would any of these work for my watch?
Thanks!

That is indeed good reading! Do you think the dimensions of the 4204 can be applied as well, when looking for a scallop crown? I.e. an aperture just above 2mm?

I鈥檓 afraid I don鈥檛 know what the aperture is for a scalloped crown.
I presume it depends on the diameter of the thread of the stem?
and I don鈥檛 know if that is standard for all Connies that take the decagonal/ thin scallop crown.
Perhaps one of our resident watchmakers can answer your question - or one of the members who has a thin scallop crown on their Constellation.
