Hi all!

I found this Connie on a dealers website, not much information yet, but he says it is 18 ct white gold and 100 % original.

What do you think about it originality? Redial?

These are the only photos I have yet.

Definitely a redial. The more I look at it, the more sure I am. I can't speak to it being white-gold, but I have doubt. The case is in pretty darn good shape for a 'soft'(material wise) case that lived a life bad enough to need a redial. I could be wrong, but that seems inconsistent to me.

I'd be very skeptical if a "dealer" uses such crummy pix.

Horrible redial.

There does appear to be a hallmark on the lug in the last photo and a steel case would not have a white medallion, so it is likely white gold. Would be nice to have some inside photos.

Regardless the dial is a deal breaker.

I know this dealer. He’s touted a few “untouched” constellations from this era with incorrect crowns, handsets, etc.

To be fair, I believe his wheelhouse is more vintage Rolex, but when called on his “untouched” comments, he gets very defensive

I’d say “aggressive” is another way to describe it.

He seems to have found a number of mint black pie pan dial 2852s within a rather short period of time…

They say “Buy the seller”. I wouldn’t buy this one, really.

The word "OFFICIALLY" looks pretty irregular and sloppy. Weak photos are a big red flag and of course black dials are always suspicious.

As we don’t see those too often…

Lacking the WG bracelet, but the correct WG buckle is a nice touch regardless 😀
