This was for sale a few weeks ago and got no attention. So I followed it up to go direct.

As a very early, bumper, arrow head,it appeals.

The case back looks remarkably well preserved - to me. The medallion, bevels and tool marks being virtually mint.
The front is a bit more battered.

However, as can be seen, many of the minute markers are missing. Is this a problem on gold dials? Were they printed? Can they be replaced without ruining the originality of the dial.

It has not got "swiss made" at 6?? I would like the rotor moved to display the calibre and regulator.

Thanks for your trouble.

 

Seamaster crown, I believe.

 

Is one of the hands touching the dial? In any case - beautiful watch! Who cares what minute it is?

 

Thanks for the replies chaps (I assume!)

It also depends on the price of course and I think the vendor is sticking on that! You must admit a pretty tasty case back!

What is the difference between a Constellation with a solid gold dial and a De Luxe which is a constellation with a solid gold dial?

So "mine" being 2799, and the case back identical bar the number, is a De Luxe? I've often wondered what is the first number (2782) for?

 

What a beauty!!!!!
