Hi all, I'm seriously wanting one of the old 'batwing' Constellations in steel so, whilst on eBay the other day came up with item number 331343162016. Does anyone have any views about its condition, price, originality etc? It's condition looks almost too clean so my concern is getting stuck with a Frankenwatch and the older Constellations are new territory for me! Any help would be much appreciated!
This case is generally referred to as "Dog-legged" . The one your referenced is in pretty rough shape, I would patiently look for another. I think there is one for sale on this forum.
There is indeed.... Omega S.S. Pie Pan Automatic Constellation Ref. 168.005 Cal. 561, ~1963 and much nicer IMO.
