I love how the dial completely changes depending on the angle of the light.

Photo doesn't do it justice.

An ebay pickup that I took a risk on. The dial isn't as perfect as I wanted, but it's original and not modified. The lume is aged and the 505 movement has all the correct parts. Case back has wear on the logo, but very minor compared to some. Has a stamped crystal I polished out too!

A classic. The 36912 dial is not so common among Constellations.

Cool! Wasn't aware of that fact. Sadly, it's a "10 footer". The wide lume hour hand is something I have only seen in one other post on this thread, not sure why the hour hand has the thick lume.

Who wants to sell me a nice one to add to my collection? I have a wad of $100 bills in a brown paper bag just waiting for the right watch. Always happy to meet late at night at a local parking garage to make the exchange. 😁

Well, I'm selling one at the moment, but I've seen what kind of watches you call "nice", and I'm not sure mine is up to snuff!
