Shame I can't go for this one as I have the same watch in PGC with an immaculate dial.

 

Dial only perhaps, and note that the markers are not the same.

The eBay watch:

 

I suspect this watch will go to its new owner off ebay - I'm guessing the seller is sorting through a bunch of offers at this moment.

 

Most interesting - didn't know this. So to keep stuff in play, the strategy is to bid it up early, cutting into the seller's incentive for selling it early.
Does this apply to the fixed value Buy It Nows as well? For instance, if you conclude an off-Ebay deal, does the seller have to pay the fee for full value?

 

This I noticed - it surprised me a few days ago, and by the time I figured out what was going on, it cost me a Universal Geneve "Big Eye" as it screwed up my communication with the seller.

Well, it's a business, not a public service. They gotta do what they gotta do, and we gotta do what we gotta do.

 

Of course many times you can track a seller down buy googling their ID name, location, listed facts, or even just type of business if it is a small enough geographic location

 

Here's a link to what I think is a very nice 14K Cal 505, pie-pan Constellation for sale.

While the dial isn't in the greatest condition, I do believe it to be original. The seller is a private collector who's been around the forrms (particularly TZ) for a number of years.



Price being asked is reasonable given current vintage watch market and price of gold.

Then again, this all could be too late,

Case is nice but that dial looks like it previously had a lot of patina and it was cleaned.

 

It looks like they actually prevent messages containing emails from being transmitted and not just redacting the email address.
