I really like that one, its exactly the type of watch I like to buy, looks original and unloved, not prettied up for sale, whack a new plexi on that (no watchmaker is repairing that crystal) have it serviced (also a must do as it has definitely not for many decades) and it'll come back from the watchmaker looking like a gem.
Went for 450 Euro still a reasonable price?

If as I think all it needs is a new crystal and the dirt cleaning off it but is otherwise in excellent condition, I would say it made about the correct market value. If the seller had changed the crystal, cleaned the watch and described it properly they would IMO have more than recouped their investment.

An acquired taste, for sure - but IMO that price is very reasonable. The only other I've seen for sale (in better condition, granted) was double the price of this when the auction ended.

That's odd: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-...d=162789610825&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Same watch, same location so maybe the same seller is using a different account, but why? Something isn't right here.

I have suggested posting a photo of the recommended watches, as a reference when the links are dead, so noobs and others can learn why a watch is recommended.

They seem to struggle with even the most basic of forum principles, so I think that is way too ambitious...




Seriously; good idea - I am at a work computer however, so can't upload any photos, nor copy image links 😵‍💫

I thought we agreed that these were to be shared on a PM basis only? 😜

I only shared it as it's in the US 😁

can't see the mouvement sadly

I doubt there will be any problems with that movement given the condition of the rest of it. It will be a 550 - he says it's 17 jewels.

962 dollars on the auction . Student budget can't afford that anymore .
Okay, then you can't afford a Constellation at market value. That's okay. Stop posting about the price action of this one.
