If this Constellation is genuine, I'm genuinely tempted

    Well, my fine friends here on the forum, take a look at eBay: http://m.ebay.com/itm/171751244368Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    What say you? Let me know ... I would love a vintage Constellation like this.

    Yea its a real dial option on the C-Case the grey with white text, its not cheap but the grey dials seem a lot less common than silver and other colours and do look very nice, bracelet is also a plus as is the decent looking 564 movement.

    Good to know! Thanks for the very prompt reply! Does the price look reasonable, in your opinion?

    For the UK, i dont think the price is that bad - make an offer and see what happens - you also get a nice bracelet, experienced seller (but i have never bought from him before though)

    You can search c cased connies in brickks and mortar stores - and i guess these would be sold at up to £1000

    Best of luck,paul

    Look its not cheap, but for the UK where prices tend to be higher, and for a grey dial with bracelet that's correct its not unreasonable if you really like it.

    A cushion case Connie... I like it. The BIN price I don't...

    1969 was a great year, though, not only for that watch, but that's when my parents gave me my first watch, thus planting the seed...:cautious::)

    Would the marks on the case back wave a flag for some?
    +1
    Bracelet would be the deal sealer for me.:)

    Thanks to all of you for your feedback. I always learn a lot from the forum - this is still a relatively new hobby for me and you all know much more than I do. Your generosity is appreciated!

    I will think about it for a bit - if I bite I'll let you know, and pics will follow!
