    Recently back from watchmaker, and now my Pride & Joy......

    Circa 1958, ref 2852 with an unblemished pie pan black dial with silver print and large WG arrowheads, and pristine cal 505 movement.
    Gorgeous unpolished SS case and well defined stars on medallion.
    Buckle from the era I added to complete the package.

    Hi MSNWatch--sorry to respond to this post again, but I'm really enamoured of this one! I love the color palette here! May I know what model it is? And do Constellations (or Seamasters) with a similar palette come available sometimes?

    Thanks so much!

    Chris

    Ref. 2852 with cal. 505. The dial is uncommon and well, in this condition not easy to find.

    Oh--that makes sense that it would be uncommon--it's just about perfect in my eyes. Thank you.

    This one of the same case reference is in more typical but still good condition. Not sure if it's just me but good ones seem to have become a lot scarcer in the past year or so.

    Picked this one up a week ago.

    Must say the best condition dial I have ever on a vintage watch. Case is also pretty good.
