That dial is wicked. Looks new!

- what does the 352 mean on the caseback?
- the dial is different from others I've seen: the white background almost looks translucent, and the hour markers are also different. Anyone care comment? Do others exist?

 

The number in the hammerhead is the case maker; here it's Serva SA.

The dial looks that way because it is in extremely well preserved condition. I see nothing odd about the markers, they are a pretty common variant.

 

The owner must have stowed it in helium for 60 years!

 

It was.

 

Inscription aside, this is a great watch for a BIN of $350. If you wanted a Cosmic in great condition with the original box, band and buckle, looks like a good choice to me.

My guess is watch was presented by a Union for a bunch of years of membership.

Edit to add: Inscription is from ~1972 so watch is probably made around that time (usually a bit younger).

Some great finds in this thread lately! Whoever buys this will be making a pretty damn good deal.

 

Sold 3 minutes ago. They go quickly!

 

Not a bad price!

 

A nice Turler signed Seamaster cal 268 ref 14399. I think it's got a sharp dial with nice warm radium lume. Case *may* be ever so slightly polished but this looks like one of his better offerings.

From closer0924, a recommended seller on ebay. It's for sale now for $648 and seems to come with an omega buckle too.

Edit: looks like it was sold by now. Anyone here get it?

Yes! Will post pic once I have it. I love simple dial like this. Thank you OF!

 

Congrats, it looks like a fabulous watch.

 

Fast shipping. Winding is a little hard but everything else works fine. Oh crystal is not signed. Not sure whether it should be.

 

When did the crystal start to be signed?

 

A nice starter watch.

I've done business with this seller as well.

A nice cal 285 14390. It's in gold cap but still retains it's facets. It's got what appears to be a nice clean dial (slight radium burn) and pretty radium hands and plot. Will need a service it seems.

It's only 325 pounds, or ~$414 with offers accepted.

 

I very much like this watch and was in communication with the seller to buy it- but having bought another watch this week, I have to be sensible in this festive season.
Interesting early gold cap 168.005 with 'missing text' dial.
To my eyes, the case looks very good for a gold cap dogleg.
Nice medallion.
Nice cross hair dome-dial but there is some spotting on the dial.
For £750 I think this is worth considering (note: the seller say no offers)

Not suggesting this one isn’t legit as everything else seems in order and I’ve been known to be wrong on many occasions, but I thought the 2 line Constellation dials were only seen on 14xxx case numbers and 50x movements.
