Other that a service/incorrect crown and a slightly polished case/lugs, IMO that looks great. Gold capped constellation are (again, in my experience) rarely seen with very defined facets, but this isn't that bad. Also, I'm a sucker for crosshairs, pie pans and those arabic numerals 😁

What's the price?

Its an ebay 7 day auction. Its also very local to me. Any idea what it should make? If everyone else agrees its a decent one id like to make him an offer. Starting bid is £550

Any service history? Price is, IMO, pretty good. Would be slightly surprised if it didn't go up a few hundred. It has that pie-pan that all seem to like.

You guys impress me with the amount of knowledge you all have. I've been lurking on this site a long time and have just started to post. Hopefully over time I will learn my lesson and not buy another disaster like the last gold Constellation I purchased.

the pics are not quite good enough to do a 'forensic' examination
the cross hairs look wrong in the first pic but appear to line up in the second
likewise the minute markers and fonts
-could be just distortion in the photos
there are those 'grand masters' on here that might be able to make a call
but otherwise need better pics to be sure I'm afraid
