I am just a Seamaster, can I join the party?



As Maxwell Smart said, "Missed it by this much!" as he was putting his fingers about an inch apart.

So much beauty in this thread. I just read the entire 36 pages over the last couple of hours!

I just have this one, from 1958, cal 505. Found it in bad shape at an NAWCC show and sent it back to Bienne. They reworked the dial and movement. I use it as my dress/formal watch.

The box was found at another NAWCC show. Not sure of the vintage of the box but it's a nice place to keep it when I'm not wearing it.

Hi there, I believe that box is mid 60s. I potentially have the outer for it...though it hides my own Connie 馃榾

Have had this for a while but only just got the strap today from @jankoxxx. Made it special to fit this and I think it looks class bringing out the dog leg lug design and enhancing the black dial on stainless steel contrast.

Nice Constellation and a nice strap. I don't know if I would have put an extremely dressy watch with a trench or pilot's strap. Something for me to contemplate.

My Constellation 14900-62, was one of my first vintage watches :

You knew this was a redial, right?

Couldn't resist treating another of my Deluxi to a 7077 when this one popped up for sale from @boat2dan. The new bracelet is here on the stepped dial variant
