Hi, great watches. Peatnick was good enough to part with one for me. Can anyone tell me if there is a rule about which variants came with dauphine rather than stick hands (the vast majority it seems)?

 

I had the impression that only stick hands where original to C-case Constellations. These could were either lume free, tip lumed or full lumed. I just had a look at Desmond's articles and these seem to agree, but I may have missed something?

 

You do see many C cases fitted with dauphine hands so possibly during the transition from earlier models both where fitted. However to be sure of originality probably safer to go with the baton style.

 

Earlier C cases came with dauphine hands as well as baton hands.
I posted an old WUS thread recently that included a comment from Desmond on the topic (reluctantly) accepting this.
So many C case threads -so can’t remember where- finally getting the love they deserve.
They look good with both IMHO

 

I read on the constellation blog thing that a lot of the dauphine hand models were commissioned for Meister.

 

I've just started to fall in love with the 'C' shaped case!! Its a little bit different! Gorgeous models guys!

 

It's sort of tiny but C, Does this count? Just picked it up today, let's see if Miss Y. likes it.

 

It's the normal size C-Case Connie - Moonwatch is just so large!!!

 

Did not want to keep back my recent C Case from you. Twins on the wrist:

 

Thanks

Thanks, I’ll see if I can track it down.

 

Whats the going price for a 'decent' C case conny??

 

Whatever the market will bear I guess, but as a point of reference I bought this one last month for e900. The comments in the post suggest it was at the top of the range of what one might pay, but not exorbitant in the circumstances.

 

I see lume here, and no Swiss T, am I right in saying that is not a hard and fast rule for gauging dial originality?

 

I found Waldo, the white gold fluted bezel

 

Thought I'd throw in a C Case Hummer

 

Getting some air today...not enough wrist the so you may see it on the "private sales" page soon!

 

A shot from my desk this morning!

 

Here is mine on a grey shark leather strap, recently picked up a 1040 bracelet for it after some guidance on here but haven't taken a shot of it on that yet.

 

I love leather too!
