The C-Cased Constellation Thread

[Zaccardelli1994]

The owner is asking for £2000 which actually I think is fairly fair for this watch. What other things are a no for you?

 

[kaplan]

For 2000 It’s pretty good, there’s upwards of 1600 pounds of gold in there anyway, if you like it might be a go

 

[Zaccardelli1994]

What do you think of the over all quality of the watch?

 

[noless]

isnt the bezel missing?

 

[Zaccardelli1994]

Hmmm good point I just had a look and it’s a little funny looking now you have mentioned it

I've got an offer to buy this C-shape, not sure about the ref, will share once I open it.
Asking price is ~2500USD - what do you think? Should I buy?

Missing case screw/clamp is sad, it's what protects the dials - not an occasion price for an average watch

Quite expensive as a matter of fact !

Thanks for the prompt response, just to learn a bit, by case screw you mean this part here, right?


Also, since members pointed out it's too expensive, what you'd say is a fair price? 1.5k USD?

 

[kaplan]

Yes, and 1.5k usd is below the gold price (when buying, not selling) - 1.7k is maybe what you can expect at best

I think in EU/US - they pay around sub $1000 for gold watches like this though, so given the missing screw, maybe your seller tried to sell it, was disappointed, and is here, so your 1.5k usd offer has merit too

Stumbled onto this photo from a year ago, really love this one watch and combo, could be my favourite

The bracelet was misrepresented as 19mm with 0 endlinks, I thought I was buying a rare bracelet lol, turned out to be a Geneve G-Case bracelet but still love it

Hi, I’m interested tu buy this piece
168.009
My doubts are for hands and dial.
Never seen like this on full gold case (168.009) but only on plated version (168.017).
Anyone know if is correct or not?
Thanks

 

[kaplan]

At a quick glance it looked fully original to me

This watch was stolen at DHL Ottendorf-Okrilla https://g.co/kgs/PtrJMF8

It should've been delivered to a warehouse but had a BS/unique non-delivery reason, as I recall it was "no name on door" - but instead of being returned, there was a last scan at DHL Ottendorf-Okrilla and disappeared after that

When you report this to DHL in Germany, it automatically gets dismissed, as they claim watches aren't insured, but it's not about insurance, it's about theft ...

I'll be glad if you can look out for this watch, 18K 168.027's aren't very common, and with the hallmark on the caseback, it's a one of a kind watch even without a serial

Sorry to hear about this …..

This is what Ultraman's dress watch would've looked like, the Ultra C-Case 😁



A thriving child to parents that went through many hardships, I am not too sure about the WG + Racing theme, but it's definitely extremely high contrast, hard to not focus those hands

looks like chronostop hands, interesting that they are the same size
