Hey guys, I've been looking for a stainless steel Constellation that has a silver dial and yellow gold markers. The case on this one still shows all of the little scratches which implies it hasn't been polished recently. The dial looks in really good shape but I'm unable to tell if it has been refinished. It is case back 2852 with a 501 in it. The seller calls this a pie-pan but I'm also sure this does not qualify as a true pie-pan. Original?

 

There are minute ticks painted right where the raised markers are. The ticks are uneven and the general painting job looks sloppy. The fonts look wrong (no serifs). Redial.

 

I'm afraid it looks like a re-dial to me, too. As fjf says, the serifs are missing.

What a pity . . .

 

Redial.

Pity too because the fonts aren't too shabby.

 

Pity! I liked the look of this watch. It's amazing how easy it is to get stuck on the overall look of a watch and miss the small points when you are interested in it! This is why I love this forum, you guys will keep me in check!!

 

Does anyone else thinks the "SWISS MADE" looks off too?

 

Propa 2852 "Dome" Pan

 

This one is better, but I see no serifs either. Is this OK in an older Connie?
