The Benrus re-issue is no longer available...


(smiley face here)
I'm glad I know where it went...I too have been on the hunt for one of these and am happy to see she went to a good home, but alas, a week with no connection to the world resulted in an avalanche of emails I was sorting through rather than checking this thread and snagging this excellent find.

DIBS if you ever decide to release her to the wild again!

Not on eBay, not a bargain (but recently reduced from CHF 7500 to CHF 6900), and you need a Swiss contact for the F2F pick up, but still nice to look at.

https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/omega-constellation-18k-a.l.d.-piepan-1157967496/

English translation of the ad (using DeepL)
for sale is an Omega Constellation with rare black Piepan dial. Beautiful gold work.
Rare Omega "A.L.D.", the gold case was made in England at that time (ca. 1960) by order of Omega.
Total weight approx. 95gr.
Incl. original box.

I think these Lip reissues are a nice value if you don’t have the stomach for the vintage SC’s- which are like owning a vintage Jag- you have to know what you are getting into. I am particularly fond of their blue dials.

I have a couple of the originals and they are a BEAR to repair....TBH easier to source nos movement as they are ultra sensitive, very hard to set and no one will touch them to rebuild now outside of a couple of chaps in France BUT- Hey they are beautiful hummers just not much use in the drawer. The new one is a much better proposition.

Saw another Zodiac Glorious a few pages back, and I stumbled on this bullseye dial today. I've seen better ones, but I thought it was a decent dial closeup for a change. Although as I'm posting this, I'm wondering if that's a reflection or spot by the 7 marker.

It should look a bit like this...they are small but beautiful in the flesh. Every bit as good as a Connie imho.

HI everyone....

I am going to bend the rules on this one just a little....Depending on seller and buyer might or might not be a good value or deal. 18k Golden Seamaster on ebay... BUT IT IS MISSING THE BEZEL... see how you can see the crown is partially recessed into the case side? You might be able to have a bezel made ?
