Hi everyone Like many others on the forum I have a real soft spot for early connies. Saw this one on eBay and I’m left kicking myself for not offering more for the watch. I have a bad feeling that it’s going to end up as one of those regret stories in 10 years time that I’ll go on about. I can only hope it has gone to one of the OF members and a good home.

Waffle dial and rose gold markers on a 2648 makes for one of my favourite Connies. However rest easy, you won’t regret missing out on the one your posted. Be patient and wait for a better one. The condition of the dial you posted doesn't cut the mustard in my opinion.
Although I am not attracted to patina, I fell in love with this one and still made an acceptable deal If a better one comes along, this one will be put up for sale on ΩF!
It's got a nice sharp case which goes a long way towards overlooking the dial issues. Well bought IMHO.
Arrived yesterday, extremely well packaged - but the seconds hand still wanted a life on its own. Axle is intact, so off to the watchmaker she goes. As experienced with other watches, it looks better than in the eBay photo! A shot of the temporarily disabled, with gator dress instead of suede. Strap from @No Mercy at OF.
Thanks @Biezmez - I have a gold capped 505 with the same dial pattern, but with a twotone dial. This one possesses a pleasing understated elegance.
I will respond with natural light photos soon, although photographing a watch with a loose second hand gives me the willies! The watchmaker is booked up for the next two weeks at least
Yea felsby!!! Warms the heart to see it again in your photograph. You were well rewarded for they good eye you had in assuming it would look better in person. It even looks better in your photograph.
Nice pickup @felsby ..... like the mustard on this one, I do Should be great after a service. Congrats
Thanks to all - will post pictures after service. These loose hands shots are like posting photos of a nice girl with her hair all messed up!
Congratulations it’s very beautiful, wear it in good health and enjoy it. To the OP, have patience learn as much as you can about Constellations(and there’s always something to learn) and you will find a nice Constellation
