路There is no need to stop posting loads of watches! We all want to see them! And now the pictures are uploaded this becomes useful archive information, I dont doubt that (without the pictures I think the listing expires after 90 days?)
I suppose even a worn out example fuels discussion about what to avoid, cases with backs/lugs polished like this give me nightmares (does this happen to everyone? 馃) So I would have just skipped over it in a flash and not looked back
Thats why I wasnt in love with this thread - dont take it as a personal attack! You contribute plenty of other interesting ones, I read them here regularly
I do like this style of watch (has to be no date for me personally), and am interested in your hunt for a great example
As someone suggested already maybe a MKelley C Case Constellation Hunting thread which would serve as a hub to list ones that have been rejected/accepted (maybe atleast just a link to the listing, a uploaded front shot of each taken off the bay listing and a YAY or NAY with reasons collected from everyone!) and just generally amass information on these models in one place would be a cool idea to implement 馃榾

路Looks like someone already uploaded the listing photos for me. Thanks to the phantom uploader馃憤
Ashley / dsio did it - see his post above yours.
You are building a pretty nice collection. A tip from experience: slow down and enjoy a few of them for a couple months, then assess which you like and which didn't tickle your fancy the way you had hoped. You'll tailor your buying this way. Flip out the ones that didn't please you as much as you thought after your honeymoon period, and start a plan on your next Most Wanted list.

路About the star, I was not implying "clueless folks" . I was hoping to encourage investigation as all the clues are there
See, you're too polite. I would have blatantly called some people clueless.... or worse. 馃榿 Guess that's the difference between Joizey and the midwest.

路Don't worry Norm. Steve has to remember to add a disclaimer so certain members can't play.

路I agree, it's fine to post on watches you're interested in. Here's a piece on C-Shapes. Feel free to scan it and perhaps take up MIke's suggestion of posting your critique of a piece and inviting further observations etc. You know, "teach a man to fish...etc" 馃榾
I receive a mountain of emails from people wanting me to act as their unofficial 'technical advisor' on Constellations, but I get very few return emails thanking me for my time, and so I now email back asking for their detailed appraisal which I'll comment on. Sorts the fisherman out from those who just want a free meal 馃榾
