    I love nothing more than finding a Constellation in it's natural wild habitat....When this little golden nugget popped up I couldn't believe my eyes....I had to pull the trigger!! :)

    A nice, and I believe seldom polished 2852 De luxe Constellation Cal. 505 with original crown and crystal with the infamous little logo.

    I haven't done much at all to it but a small rub with a micro fibre cloth, not sure if the case can be brightened up a bit later...

    Anyway, here's the pics!

    Caseback still has remnants of its machine finish..And a nice crisp medallion to match!

    Came with an Omega strap and buckle which was a pleasant surprise.



    Overall I'm bloody thrilled, I can't deny it !!! :D

    That is an absolutely superb example. To find one in such condition must be a very rare thing these days, it looks as if the original owner hardly used it. Was this a UK example, or from further afield? In any case, pour yourself a nice glass of wine, kick back and enjoy that watch, Alex!

    Thanks very much John. I'm pretty knocked out by the condition myself! This came from Barcelona. and it was accepted. But from the pictures it looked very yellow in hue, now I have it next to other yellow gold watches it looks more rosé, and doesn't match them at all. I can't decide, either way I'm a happy man! :D

    That's almost certainly pink / rose gold.

    Your pics in the first post make me wonder exactly how many CD Club (Centenary & DeLuxe) members we have here.
