··Sunburst dial fanI’d pass. For a couple of hundred more you could probably get one with a decent dial.
I could live with the case and hands but not that dial.

·It doesn’t look like a redial but the dial looks damaged. The date wheel has discoloured in (imo) a very unappealing way.
I’d pass and spend more on a decent example.
I suspect you’d end up regretting buying this

·Agree with everything being said here. If you want a Constellation, any Constellation, I’d always advise getting one that looks nice enough to wear as a proper dress watch - as they were intended. There are better examples out there and I wouldn’t compromise!

·Agree with all of the foregoing. Save your money and look for a better example. If price is a concern, a C case Connie is your best bet, as you've probably already discovered.

··Steve @ ΩFThe dial may been touched up in few places to repair damage to letters.

·I was about to say that I don't think that some of the dial issues are down to a very poor crystal, but it does look like the dial is unevenly sat in the case - and that there are damage to the edges of it. Good dial condition on a dress watch is paramount, IMO.
These come up in very decent condition for not a whole lot more, so the asking price is pretty optimistic.

·What are your conclusions after doing your research and looking at 3-400 pictures of confirmed authentic Constellations?

·@jambon what do you think of it? Case condition, dial condition/originality?
It helps if you share your thoughts to get the conversation going, even if you’re not particularly experienced.
I find the dial in too poor condition again. As @ConElPueblo says, a Constellation is a dress watch and so it should be in good shape unless you’re looking at a very rare example or on a very tight budget. Tool watches on the other hand can generally get away with more patina/damage.

·to the best of my knowledge the case is pretty polished and could be in way better shape.
the dial definitely has som damage and could be in better condition.
i think the dial is original but of course not anything special.
but i think the price is quite cheap but i am not 100 percent sure about that.
i am no expert so feel free to correct me if i am wrong
