I think they do, except for the ones with gold coloured dials? If not, please share your pictures for my archives

 

I'd recommend researching here. https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-constellations-show-and-tell.19186/

 

Thanks. I did go through there and could not spot an example without the crosshairs. I'm wondering if there could be a reference I'm overlooking.

I'm asking because this looks legit to me, even though the pie-pan edges don't seem that sharp, and the print does not appear completely consistent with other Connie arrowhead examples (look at the M of Chronometer). It also does not have the crosshairs. Those three elements are hinting towards an early redial, but it seems weird as it looks like a barn find watch with ok provenance.

I don't get the impression it is a redial, yet especially the lack of crosshairs seems puzzling.

@gatorcpa @cristos71 any ideas?

 

Well that's a terrible picture, but still I'm not at all convinced by that dial. Here's another half waffle 2852 that has just sold in the FS section, this one has a crosshair.

 

Incorrect spelling of Chronometer, should be Chronometre on this reference.

 

There are some late exception but this one is definitely a redial.

 

Thanks all, this confirms my suspicions.

 

So should they always have crosshairs?

 

If "they" means 2852, I would say yes, except solid gold dials.

 

nice and shiny! beautiful pic

 

Ok. I'm going to start a "show me your 2852 connie" thread...
