So I thought that I would share these two since they are somewhat uncommon. On the left we have a seldom seen 1954 Constellation reference 2887 in gold cap with a crosshair dome dial and arrowhead markers. On the right, we have a 1952 Seamaster reference 2635 in steel with a rail track waffle dial, Breguet numerals and dagger style markers. Enjoy. 😀

Both are gorgeous, but the dial on that 2635 🥰

@gbesq , nice one !!😀

you might need both ref. 2887 - “1” and - “2”.😁
Trio of them had the crosshair arrowhead markers too.

Best,

Both very nice, but the 2635 looks very unique to me. Is that a 33mm case or smaller?

What was the spa treatment, just a full service?

Should I just add these two to your dibs spreadsheet, Erric? 😁

About 33.5mm, give or take. Yes, a full service which included replacement of a few worn parts in the movement and installation of a genuine Omega crystal. Purring like a kitten now. It's a stunning watch in the flesh. The photos really don't do it justice.

Well, not exactly. Next time I’m picking up THREE watches from the spa. 😁

I was blaming that heritage Seamaster 300. But those spa bills aren’t going to pay themselves! Looking forward to seeing some at the G2G.
