Hello everyone,
what do you think of my constellation? Is the dial original or a Redial? It's from 1962.

Welcome @rical

All looks good - congratulations.
And it looks like the correct alternative thin knurled crown.

With what looks like the original (or certainly contemporaneous) yellow gasket.

It has only had 3 revisions: 1967, 1974 and last week but so yes i thinks it was more of 50 year

Interesting that they didn’t seem to have changed the crown at service - which was a common part of the service at the time as it is part of the waterproofing system.

This style of crown was only used for a short period of time around the early 60s and less frequently used on the doglegs than on the 14381/14393.
It’s possible that crown type was available in 67/74 but the decagonal crown was ubiquitous for the dogleg by then.

Whatever the reason, it’s a nice period quirk of your watch and infinitely easier to use than the decagonal crown.

One of the services, according to the watchmaker who serviced it, was for the date frame; he thinks it must have had some play and the service fixed it. I Will try to have some picture. Next week

Your dial features the, as I would call it- 'vertical sunburst' which is not so common IMO

This crown is IMO far nicer to use than the decagonal, I really dislike both the 10-sided and clover designs, this scalloped variant is my favourite in every model it or a variant of it is used on.

Its a nice non-piepan dogleg, not unpolished but pretty decent really, I'm sure it looks great on the wrist

Its a nice dome dial dogleg, not unpolished but pretty decent really, I'm sure it looks great on the wrist

Fixed it for you on the basis that some of us don’t see the dome dial variants as the negative of a pie pan but more of a positive.
