Nice looking watch, a quick glance it seems to check out, still has the original yellow gasket. Mov't is clean, not too worn case. The font looks a little strange but could be my old phone and poor photos. Price seems a little high but it is Christmas shopping season. Good luck

Are you talking about Constellation pie pans or vintage in general? You can buy a new Constellation Globemaster with a pie pan dial that's 39mm. I don't think the originals were ever made bigger than 35mm (I think they were actually 34mm) but there are others, more knowledgeable, who can correct me if I'm incorrect.

I'd want to see straight on photos. I'm concerned it's a redial, based on how high the "Swiss made" is, and how far the minute track is from the edge of the pie pan

That one looks ok. Nice even patina. The straight on photo makes it much easier to judge.

Omegaaddict (Tim maccrain) is a good guy.

Personally, I think this has too much patina for my liking. But that's an individual preference.

Have you looked at the For Sale forums here?

there is big ones, there known as hidden crown pie pan constellations. I believe they are maybe 38mm? They were produced in the 60's. Honestly it's such a wonderful design you don't really notice how small they are the wear real well imho at least.

I notice the listing refers to the dial as being refurbished. Does that equal repainted?

Also the case and lugs seem very highly polished. Edges of the lugs seem rounded off a bit, but maybe the edges were not sharp on that model when new.

Musings of a novice as I try to get educated.
