Dear respectable Members:

It's been some time since I've called a watch a "grail" but this is about as close as I can get to it at the moment. I never thought I'd enjoy wearing a piece as much as I do this one

Still not sure if the BOR will remain permanently as I think it deserves some freshly peeled skin!

Movement pictures will follow...

Anyway, some pictures:

 

Gorgeous! Congrats.

 

Lovely one Mike, I like the variations on the Constellation Dials. It's hard to capture how sharp this case really is!

 

I just knew you got that watch by the disturbance in the Force that day.

Good decision to snag it.

 

Thanks! Turns out the engraving wasn't the deal breaker!

 

Nice dial! I'll agree with you -or just push you into a leather option - personally I'd pass on the BOR and would pursue some nice piece of leather to strap it on! enjoy!

 

Keleran black gator all the way.

Got 2 of these - one on the 2500, one on the 168.005.

 

Bought one of those for my centenary. I'll pop it on later...

 

Superb buy. Glad it stayed within the family. And since you already have such a beautiful black and waffle connie, and if you are thinking of moving your stainless one, let me know.
Enjoy your "grail".

 

Dibs! Yeah I know it's useless.

 

Funny you should mention that....

 

Simply wow

 

this is my black dial constellation it has a niaad (waterproof) marked winding crown it has a small symbol inside the omega symbol

 

Is that a 2782 or a 2852? The crown is original vintage, but the dial has been repainted, unfortunately.

 

Daaaang! This thread's last post before yours was a loooong time ago!

Yours is a beautiful example, certainly worthy of its own (new!) thread.
Cheers!

 

I haven't been able to open the back its really stiff and haven't got proper tools don't want to scratch it trying..The dial font and everything looks right too me though

 

Ye I noticed how old the thread was just after I posted it )

 

Does it have a bumper movement? You can feel the impact of the hammer oscillator when moving the watch about. If yes, it's a 2782. No, a 2852.
