Hello Everyone,

I spotted what appears to be an original Constellation 2852-9 SC. The crystal is OEM and all the other components appear original. The caseback in particular looks good to me. What are you thoughts?

I've included some photos below:

I’m still looking for a nice 168.005, so I’ll have to pass on this one.

So get this one and trade it when your 168.005 comes along.

If not willing to buy it, it will interest some of us!
Mouvement seems like brand new!

Is the crown correct?

That indeed looks more like a 50s Seamaster crown to me, I am used to that very "edged" Constellation crown, which if I am not mistaken, has 6 sides. Maybe this clover crown is also correct for this particular Connie? Hmm.

So this was more of a theoretical exercise for the membership? 😁

Is this one good enough to trade?

You are right, no lume, no black paint, no onyx.

They exist in Seamasters, too.

Definitely the first time I’ve ever seen one!
I guess they must be quite rare?
