Hey guys,

I am fairly new to this and was hoping to get an opinion on this watch as to whether it is fairly priced and an overall opinion on the piece. The watch is priced at $1300 and no pictures of the movement were provided. The mechanism is an automatic winding caliber 564 movement with quickset calendar functions. Question mark? Haha, thanks for your considerations and patience I'm hoping to learn here.

Redial and poorly refinished case. Pass. Those 168.025's should sell for several hundred less than the asking price even in mint condition.

Hell, I sold the dome dialed version 168.015 that was REALLY nice for $600-ish a year and a half ago.

 

Thanks for the quick turn around time. What do you look for when figuring out if its a redial etc?

 

Fonts and the minute / second track markings.

BTW, that watch is missing it's 3:00 marker and you can see where it was. Yuck!

 

Well thank you! I will be back with more questions and hopefully a better watch soon.

 

Keep'em coming.

 

I am on the chase for a nice pie pan...

 

For building a gaining a better knowledge of not getting ripped off how does this look at first glance?



Danke

 

Well you came to the right place! Plenty of friendly advice and the occasional recommendation. But be prepared for competition! Many fevers are treated here. I am currently undergoing treatment for Speedy fever. I see many Pie Pan fevers treated here too.

 

A little polished but not terrible, and the dial has the start of the measles, but overall seems decent from one picture. I wouldn't pass or fail it before seeing the medallion and movement though.

 

Is the second watch also missing the index at 3 O' clock? I have seen quite a few of the same model of Constellations without the 3 O'clock index, is there a certain year that have it and certain year don't? Apologize in advance for asking if this has been asked many times.

 

It was never there to begin with on that particular watch. You can only see the pie pan facet, not any evidence of a marker being removed.

 

Hey guys,
How does this stand as far as legitimacy goes?

 

It looks like a Constellation pie pan. The lugs might be crisp. Can't tell you much else from that picture.

 

What do you mean by crisp?

 

Toasted, but not burnt.

I mean they look like the facets are still sharp.

 

168.025 Constellation can be a very nice watch! Check out my very near mint 18k rose 168.025 pie pan...
