I am recently offered a Connie,
but when I ask the pictures of movement inside and the back cover, the seller refused.
As he said, he is not an expert, do not know and do not have tool to open the back, so he doesn't want to take the risks of opening it.
So all I have is the picture outside.
What do you think about this watch? As it is too far away from my place, I can not come and see the watch in reality.
700 Eu is reasonable price?

Thanks for your advices

 

Hmm, if there were no movement shots, I'd pass on the deal, unless the price was very compelling. There's always another one.

 

There are things fishy with this one. I would stay away from it. Double "T": s but no tritium on hands or dial. Then look at the font for the date....and the rest. No serifs. The star looks too big and too pointy...etc.
If case is original it has been polished out of shape - look at top of lugs - no definition left at all.

 

+1 on all of this...at best case I believe the dial to be fake.

 

Agreed!

 

thank so much for advises. I pass this auction.
Best regards

 

Just to add that I really don´t like that upward sloping "t" in "Constellation" and for that matter the size and shape of the complete lower case either, just looks wrong and too small.

 

The Guys really can spot a redial or fake at 30 paces. Terrific. I am astonished that people are faking these but what do I know...

Just for comparison, mine looks like this and I believe it is correct. Just to make sense of the above comments about fonts, star size etc. Nobody commented on the lack of marker on the right of the date window but that may be a dial variation.

It looks like this on the inside if you're interested in this model:

I am 100% sure that dial is From China and so is the case. No need to look at the movement.
