    Just saw this Constellation on eBay from Argentina.
    Nice 18k hidden crown Connie with lovely gold dial and a decent case.
    Unusual that the observatory doesn't have the expected brickwork - a locally cased watch perhaps?

    But no - the case back is from a C-case ::censored::
    You just have to be so careful.....

    That’s because the case back doesn’t match the case front.

    The C case Constellations had no observatory brickwork on solid gold pieces. See the pictures in the following thread.

    So let’s call this a frankenwatch.

    I guess that will teach me for being a little mischievous (and evidently ambiguous) in describing this put together Connie - so the links you provided are a useful explanation of the issue -thankyou.

    Bottom not that saggy but certainly implanted.
