路If you're looking for a collectible example, this would not be a good purchase. The dial is poorly repainted and the case is in very poor condition because it has been aggressively polished on a buffing wheel. I'd suggest taking some more time to study constellations and vintage watches in general, starting with the learn how to fish sticky.

路Thank you very much Dan. I must admit I鈥檓 a bit lost with all the references. Fonts looked legit to me but I was wrong. How did you spot it was repainted? would you suggest any source for studying besides this forum? thanks!

路@Anto_Alex
@Dan S is right once you know this is a very obvious redial.
Lots of good information on OF.
This site will tell you pretty much all you need to know about Constellations.

路I might be wrong since I'm new too, but I'll try from what I think. The font is wrong, especially in above section. It may be closer to 60's model. It should be "RE" instead of "ER" in chronometer. For this reference, hour markers should be dots not small rectangles. Besides, it doesn't seem to pass the MOY test.
