    While searching for old Seamaster Chronometers, came across this. Case #2516, cal 352, 14k, looks heavily polished and a crummy redial, so I can't tell what it's supposed to look like.
    It followed me home anyway.
    A not-quite-Constellation?

    That's the same watch. A fair bit less expensive though :)

    If neither Constellation nor Seamaster, what is it?

    I have a Ref. 2517 in steel with the same dial, except mine is original:

    Some watches produced after 1951 have the "Officially Certified" added to the dial.

    Here's an original ad for the gold version:

    The hands should have a single facet as shown in both of the above examples.
