I don't know.. I think there is truth to that; however, the datejust has gone up tremendously, also even regular seamasters and other more basic three handers from omega have gone up allot.. both of those are the same size.. it seems there is just something with this watch that keeps it from going up as much as other watches.
Datejust have almost tripled in five years and this watch is every bit the equivalent.

Well, it doesn’t say Rolex anywhere on the Connie.

Always considered Constellations, at least solid gold with pie pan, in Daydate range. 😕

Does anyone else think these must be severely underpriced?
Yes.

Edit: or beat up vintage speedies are overpriced... 😁

And these are 10 times nicer then a datejust. Those rolexes dont even come close.

It’s so nice when these older threads come back. Such lovely watches. I find this more useful for those hoping to tune their eye to redials and over restored watches than showing poorly redone dials or over polished cases. The beautifully subtle detail In the second “n” tail, the MOY.....
Thank you all for sharing.

Agreed! Reading threads like these in conjunction with the Desmond pieces on connie dials is a great way to tune the eyes. So much to learn but some really great resources out there. Thanks to all for posting.

@septentrio just wow! Noticed that some dials have dot in front of arrowhead marker and some have dash. Does anyone know why this is so?

They went to a dash around late '57 I believe, somewhere around there.

Congrats that’s a beautiful example. The copper hour markers really pop. Enjoy

Got this one late June. Finally got the correct thick decagonal for it and I must say, it looks much better now! (Prev. w/clover)
