    The worst part is when that screen does not change for days, and the best part as once happened to me, the door bell rings and there is the parcel.
    Once I had opened my parcel I went back to the screen and it still had not changed :(

    Try waiting when it disappears for 6 weeks and then when found they send it to the wrong town.

    But in the end it's worth it.
    Sorry about the crap pic but I haven't got any photo gear with me and the light in this place is bad.
    Anyway, here it is.

    I wasn't sure but it was a BIN on the bay and I thought I'd seen one before. It just looked so clean (except for the ding on the crystal) that I jumped on it.

    Turns out it may be one of these but I'll need to check further when I get home.

    Yes, search on constellation lapis lazuli and you'll find lots of matches, few in that condition though. I get the impression the dial looks better in the flesh than in the photos and have been severely tempted a couple of times...
