You are able to find but are you ready to pay?
Absolutely, financial considerations are a significant and essential factor. 😉

However, in my view, if the item is aesthetically exceptional and rare, it may be necessary to accept paying a premium price. 😁

@hoipolloi , it’s possible that my pink gold watch is the one you were referring to. 😊

Can I ask why your star is inverted? I am asking because I just acquired a Constellation with the same issue. I also came to this thread because I am trying to source a hand set for the piece.

welcome @Badcompany105

your star isn't inverted - it has just rotated 'one point' making it look inverted.

The 'wonky star' phenomenon is quite common even on Constellations that haven't had their dials repainted.(usually due to some degradation of the dial finish rotating the star)
Yours was probably loosened during repainting or not reset securely afterwards.

If you want to discuss your watch in more detail, it would be a good idea to start a separate thread for it.

I have to find it first! Been looking for a few months so far.

I'm expecting a bit of a premium for a good one. I'm on a self imposed watch buying diet at the moment, so that when the right watch pops up I can't use the excuse of "I really shouldn't because I've just spent xxx on something else."
As always, the actual funds aren't an issue, it's justifying the expenditure that's difficult!

Sorry for derailing the thread, it wasn't my intention.

I just changed the bracelet to a steel mesh made by omega, or might be called as a ‘Milanese bracelet.’

Personally, I think it matches really well.
