Hi guys,

I've asked for guidance and advice for sometime now. I picked up this after learning a lot from the forum (so thanks a lot if I got it right!)

I think it's a reasonable example, sharp edges on case, dials clean. Only down side I could see is some monkey went at the case back. It's keeping good time, -5s in 24 hours (not that that means much for condition of parts!) and will be off for a service asap. I'm on the hunt for a decent vintage buckle and a nice strap to go with it.

Sorry about picture quality, smartphone camera coupled with no talent or technique.

 

Wow it's a beauty. Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay? I'm looking at Constellations with the pie pan design and trying to figure out what a good price for it is

 

I've pm'ed you

 

Very nice looking watch, not so easy finding a good Pie Pan with a 551 movement!

 

Very nice looking dial. Congrats on the pickup!

 

classic, no date. enjoy it.

 

Minute markers doesn't look very accurate, seems like a redial to me.

 

@gatorcpa @ConElPueblo any thoughts?

 

MOY test is OK, everything looks like it should, I can't see what should be wrong with the minute markers...

 

Dial is fine, 100% correct.

 

*Wipes sweat from forehead*

 

Funnily enough this one actually fails MOY. Still correct though.

 

Looks like a very nice example to me

 

To me, the minute markers don't either look paralell, nor the go up to the edge. Maybe it only seems like this, because they look a litte bit washed out.

 

It's good. Congratulations on a good pickup. Case looks good to me too.

 

Thanks. Can you show a good counter example?

 

Looks great. 35mm?

 

Very, very nice pick-up. That unpolished case shows just why case condition is paramount on dog leg Constellations

Re. markers - on PP dials the markers tend to look as if they are in different angles in relation to the dial centre. This one is just like it is supposed to be.

 

Praise from Con, I feel honoured!
