路I won this watch today, 42.000 sek + costs, I was the only bidder
I wonder what you guys think of the inscription, I've asked a couple of friends, the feedback was positive
Wow, really cool watch! Looks like something discovered from King Tutankhamun's tomb 馃榿 Love the bracelet.
I think the inscription looks nice and adds personality to the watch.

路So here another picture. I am not really a genius in photography, and in particular I never have a lot of time. Should really reactivate my DSLR for such purpose...
The strap is not doing the watch any good, it was the only 19mm sized one I had lying around, but a black one will be better (or a suitable steel bracelet, but I am really more a leather strap guy).

路I have some wear on my gold capped case on the lugs, and this has always annoyed me a bit, but I do have a WG bezel case like this one from a watch I bought as a donor some time back, so this combination has been tempting to me, but never having been able to find a combination like this in the wild has stopped me.
Those gold linen dials really are very nice to look at though.

路Received this photo for an upcoming auction, instead of a special dial, I think this is a redial, never seen a missing SWISS or SWISS MADE, the AUTOMATIC looks out of center as well - however I still like it, they at least designed something new and simple
Also a reminder note to myself, but I guess a common knowledge for experienced members and a good advice for all beginners like me, one must ask and insist on quality photos for all auctions and check the angles etc. - auction houses are great at hiding the flaws, and they usually send/show low res photos

路The dial could also be authentic. Sorry, but the picture quality is really not good enough to determine that. Always a risk when trading online...

路Thank you!
Yes I鈥檓 in the UK.
I have about 4 weeks, but I won鈥檛 rush to buy the wrong one either.
my last example from eBay and then I might have to give it a rest for a few days to see if there are any new listings.
we aren鈥檛 watch collections in the way the lovely people here are so it needs to be a 1972 to have the significance.
thoughts on this one?
I think you are better off buying constellations with 751 or 564 movement rather than the 10xx, from what i read here in the forum these are the ones with a couple of plastic materials in the movement to reduce the production cost.. just my opinion.

路I won this watch today, 42.000 sek + costs, I was the only bidder
The watch checks a lot of boxes for me, I wanted a dual color bezel, wanted one of these bracelets
It has 1-2 flaws but I don't think it matters too much, I like when the star turns and becomes upside down, have a C-Case with a turned star that I consider very lucky, the star on this watch started turning but it's not upside down yet 馃榾
I believe he's the owner: https://www.geni.com/people/Kurt-Mark/6000000017087158048 (or was the owner, depending on how you look at things)
I wonder what you guys think of the inscription, I've asked a couple of friends, the feedback was positive
Wow, looks amazing.

路I've just joined the club this week after receiving this 168.027 from a nice fellow in Hong Kong. I love that the dial is either grey with black plots or violet with silver plots, depending on the light. Crystal needs a bit of polywatch, and bracelet has some stretch, but I'm really pleased. The problem is, now I want one with a smooth bezel and white dial!

Please share a link to that strap as well 馃槦
By the way, just noticed this recently, these dials have slightly thicker 3/6/9 indices, while the others are thin, not even easy to tell up close, I noticed it after seeing a macro shot
