Hey guys, I have access to this 18K Constellation with only outside pics. No movement or inside case back. What do you think? Does it look right? I can tell the case back has been overly polished. Supposedly it is a cal. 551 24 jewels. How about case reference? 2782 maybe? Does the dial look original? All observations welcome!

 

Dome dialed dog leg lugged models aren't nearly as sought after as the pie pan versions.

 

Thanks guys! It explains why the watch is less than $2,000. I will keep looking.

 

Yet, perhaps?

 

I don't think ever. There's something about a pie pan dial that puts vintage collectors in a frenzy. All else being equal, a pie pan dial will inflate the price by several hundred dollars at least.

 

If ya just gotta have a dome then this is the way to go.

 

Or you could go with something like this:

 

Yum

 

It's not only nice.........very beautiful........ love the lugs

 

DIBS on this one please.........

 

get in line......

 

Raised medallion also means the old one was machined off and a new one attached on .

 

I wonder what my ticket number in this line ? Hopefully not two digit

 

I have to enjoy my yellow then
