S.H. S.H.
I must admit, I had some doubts myself. But I just (feverishly!) checked, the dial feet are intact, AFAIK 50x and 55x dials are not interchangeable without tinkering with them. So I don't see how it could not be a 50s dial; it may be a 60s service dial though, I never saw any. No sign of redialling.

Some examples of 2852s with dome dial / stick indexes:

As I said, I agree that there were also dome dials with stick markers, but they looked different.

Sorry, but no harder evidence from my side. I believe it's a service dial.

I'm sure some experts will chime in.

Does anybody know what a stainless white gold furniture arrowhead pie pan in reasonable condition goes for now a days? Not asking about these perfect factory condition ones.. just a unmolested patina'ed but still with bevel and all stars, etc. Also I have a sliding clasp bor for it.
Around $2000? Or less? More?

Finally, ref.2852 big arrowhead cross-hair pie pan is the best of all Constellations out there (my opinion)

I prefer the 14381 with arrow head. The lug wears better on wrist but it is just me.

Hey hey hey. There's no place for language like this in this thread. Make your own (14381) thread! 😁

Nobody wants to sell their own 2852, especially in that condition.
Except if he have two of them or more.
Again, not a 100% sure

Black dial or white?

It is indeed in very good condition. Not perfect. In artificial backlight you can see tiny spots on the middle part of the dial. Normal ageing, does not bother me at all. Never saw a better untouched example.

Yes 2k USD should already take you somewhere. These very fine examples are more towards the 3k USD border these days, but an average example should be source-able for 2k. The thing is, they do not come up for sale that often...

Completely agreed.

Is this one different with your 2782 🥰🥰🥰 ? On has gold marker and onr with white gold markers

The 2782 is sold to a watch buddy of mine. The differences; this is an early 2852 (14mio serial) with dome dial but with rotor cal. 501 instead of the 2782 bumper movement. The 2782 indeed had white gold furniture, this 2852 has yellow gold furniture.

I like this combo the best, great strap choice here.

Yes this one had the original elephant leather strap, and the original buckle. Gorgeous example, with the best preserved dial I had ever seen. Spotless, mint, perfect.
