Hello all,
Just took a chance on this Constellation but have never seen this dial before and after researching are still not totally convinced, has anyone seen this before. Its a 168.027 cal. 564. Thanks in advance.

 

Hi,

There's nothing indicating the dial/hands aren't puked from someone's imagination

Especially the date wheel's missing window and the monstrous hands are the culprit, the rest of the dial was admittedly interesting on a thumbnail

 

If there were thought police whoever created this would be jailed for thinking it up.

Some fantasies are best be kept to one's self.

 

So joking/Sarcasm aside, I was lied to when the seller said he took it to a reputable watch repairer and he said it’s 100% authentic and I’m an idiot for paying £560 for this

 

You could hope the movement is original and hand posts weren't modified so they accept the regular 0.8 / 1.5 hands

At that point you can find a replacement dial for $200 and replacement hands for $150+

So you're $350 short of a correct watch

When this happens to me I just sell the watch for whatever I can get and move on, it's the cheaper saner option

 

Ok thanks. So if I fitted a dial and hand and the movement is genuine would the pice I paid be ok or do I just got my money back, which is possible?

 

I wouldn't pay $350 for it but in the long run you could get $350 for it, the case looks to be in good condition, it looks like a good case donor

TL;DR: Get your money back if you can

 

Thanks for the advice

At least he’s now removed the bits that say he’s had it checked by a reputable watch maker and is 100% authentic.

 

Good work OP getting your money back. Get a nice one here in the OF Private sales section.

 

Thanks. Ignoring the “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is” phrase is very ignorant on my behalf. Where is the private sales section, can’t seem to find it?

 

Yes.
