Nice restoration story! Putting in the effort into it certainly makes it a worthwhile piece

I took a chance on that one too... apparently not enough of one given how great it looks now.

In a time not so long ago, that post would have netted you a custom avatar message of "under-bidderer" or something similar. 😉 😜

Amazing how such a perfect dial can be hidden under such crystal... 😀

Congrats to an awesome purchase!

And the second hand ages more quickly because it's moving so much faster? 😀

Ok, wiseguy, so in your theory, what makes dials and hands to age/ degrade?

Possibly because the watch was working 24/7 and never had a day off .

Sorry, my bad. Thought we had a serious discussion regarding aging in dials and hands and what´s causing it.

But now I get it. Really funny, ha, ha

You want to know how I’m a noob? Because I read “quartz” and moved on without considering putting any research into it. 🙁

With that said, between this and the gold waffle dial that someone snagged a couple months ago I’ll pay much more attention to the poorly described and listed watches.

A month or so ago I found an interesting Constellation on eBay:

So, from what I can tell you bought a watch on Ebay and replaced the bracelet with a strap.

What a difference a new leather strap makes, huh? 😉

Very nicely done! (Picking the strap of course) 😎
