The seller @masteroftime is a member here and good guy. I have bought from him before. Bid with confidence on this one.
Thank you for the shoutout and kind words! This one actually seems like it is being sold by the person who bought it from me.

They threw me off by using your photos.

Nice sharp Constellation C-Case Cal 751 Day-Date in steel, photos look rough but this is actually a great watch when you look close

Ridden very hard and hung up wet. If it goes any higher, one is unlikely to get much out of it after investing for a crystal, a service and a good cleaning of the case and bracelet.

Unless you can do all the work yourself.

I'm very much tempted but gotta look at finances this month.
It might still be ok, I have someone who can service it for a very good rate. And I polished my first acrylic crystal, came out well.

I don’t really think it’s that rough, to me it looks like it’s one owner watches that’s sat in a drawer for decades getting the crystal scratched up. When C-cases are polished and lose their bevels it’s hard to come back from that but this case looks decent.

This type of bracelet also tends to be pretty flogged out and loose if it’s been worn a lot but it looks relatively tight here. The movement looks good and though you can’t see the dial I’d expect it to be decent under that badly scuffed crystal.

I tend to like these ones that look very rough and scuffed up in photos but are still sharp as it keeps the price down, but yea I wouldn’t overpay by any means. I do think it will clean up quite well though, I could be wrong but it’s the type I’d go for.

Thanks for adding this, much appreciated.
