    Hoi, do you have a bowler/onion crown on that one? Thinking about changing the one on mine, the color just doesn't match with the newer Constellation crown.

    Yes Kyle.

    A bowler hat fits perfectly on that model, I tried 10 sided crown before but did not like it

    Try the crown with 14k colour

    You did not get a bargain, but you did not get robbed. What you did get is a nice watch and that was the point of this.

    Now slow down and spend more time studying. Go back and read all of Desmond's PDFs, I'm sure you have not read them all. Do a goggle image search for Constellation, Vintage Constellation, Guilloche Constellation, etc. Then follow each link and study the results. Do a "Constellation: search on all of the watch forums and read the threads found. In the mean time keep saving. :D

    Thanks, I intend to slow down...for now. I intend to finish reading Desmond's Blog/ I'm only about 0ne-third through the articles posted. I've already done some google searches, mostly to determine bid price ranges. Advice is fantastic...thanks to all weigh in on my many inquiry posts.:D
