Hello everybody ,

I have recently bought this beautiful watch , checking it before buying following the tips I’ve found here in the Forum .

Focusing on the dial , everything seemed legit to me : various fonts , general texture , MOY test passed, “star” position and rotation ecc ecc …

but I still have one doubt which comes from the index at 12.00 , as per attached picture it’s not perfectly aligned ( seems the right “stick” is something like half millimeter longer than left one or maybe just not aligned ) .

how would you judge it?

red flag or something which could happen on 60years old watches?

thanks to everybody !

That’s a handsome watch. It looks good to my amateur eyes, but I’m sure some more seasoned members will be able to advise you.

out of interest, can you enlighten me about the MOY test?

The crown looks to be a replacement but still a beautiful watch. Is the the Hallmark on the back visible?

Personally I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong the index at 12...might be a tiny bit out?...I wouldn't worry about it, the watch is absolutely beautiful!

Looks good to me. There's a really helpful c-case Constellation thread here, look it up for some fellow enthusiasts...
