Constellation black dial

Hi all,

I have the opportunity to buy this black dial constellation from 1954, but it has a few issues. The dial looks original and consistent with other examples from the mid-50s (though slightly out of MOY). Since it's the first black dialled watch I've had the opportunity to buy, I thought it would be best get a few more opinions.

There's also the issue of the broken second hand and, the service crown and the very soft case, with the medallion being polished into obscurity. Unfortunately no movement shots or service records, though the seller is offering a warranty (which I've heard they do honour).

Although the crown is easy to replace and I have a spare seconds hand, given the 'well loved' nature of the case, I thought I'd also get opinions on whether the watch would be worth paying ~1300 USD for.
Thanks 😀

I am not an expert but honestly I do not like at all the lack of details of the gold medallion from the case back.

Unfortunately those photos were the best that were given to me but comparing with another photo taken at a steeper angle it seems likely that the scratch is on the dial rather than the glass. 🙁



It will be a few more days before I get better photos but based on the sentiment in this thread I should probably pass on this one.
Thanks to everyone who has given their thoughts so far.
