Dog leg lugs buying experience.

Good info, thanks for that, it's helpful! 👍

IIRC correctly, they were special order so fewer produced.
plus the fact that they appear to have faired less well than other dials means even fewer survive in good condition.

I’m guessing you haven’t read this old thread?

You brought up a great point about market price versus what u need to put into it to get it in top market price condition if that is your wish. I’m noticing the contacts I knew who used to pick up watches clearing junk out of houses or demo jobs now give me a call and start talking about the eBay price of a watch they may have. First off many of the eBay and Chrono prices are unrealistic and when the prices are on the money they are in great condition sometimes with boxes etc. it gets a bit annoying but I see where they are coming from, people just look it up and say that’s what it’s worth while the crystal is cracked, has an old speidel bracelet that ate some of the lugs and of course not serviced in god knows how long. Sometimes they will listen to reason sometimes they think I am pulling a scam. If they think I’m trying to scam them I shake their hand and tell them I appreciate you showing me the watch and I hope you get your 1500 or 2k or more. Watches are an expensive hobby, there is no money to be made in repairing them and wearing them as I do. I did pick up one of the constellations you have for a couple hundred bucks at a little shop as it has a ding in the dial around the 10pm mark. It can’t be seen from wrist to eye length but it certainly is bad enough to have an impact on the value. I was thinking of looking around see what the chances are of finding the right dial and replace it. I have no idea on cost or availability but I do know a couple people I can at least inquire to. Very nice watches you have.

Oh my word. Should the time come for that no-date Connie to depart your hoard of lovelies and seek a new home, please do call me. 🥰
