Very impressive 👍. I hear the decagonal crown is a bit of a pain but the pay off is that it looks great.

Yes, from a functional aspect its garbage. But it sure looks slick!

I rarely never have the right date due to the crown, but it has nice Quick set though 😀

I have to confess that when I looked at this yesterday I had my concerns.
I generally agree with your comments plus the crosshairs clipping the e in Constellation and the 5 min hache at 7 looks inconsistent.
However, I’m travelling, can only view on my phone and the pics aren’t good enough to be sure and different dial makers do have variations, so I tend to stay silent on redials unless I’m certain.
I think hi-res pics or viewing in hand with a loupe is the key to this one.

I did score some decent finds from auctions with low-res photos, but this time I missed. However, a good friend made a bid, so now, everyone's happy 😁

Enjoying yesterday's sun with these two: my latest addition, a 14381 which is just back from service and a lovely 2852 which I've had for year or two now.

Edit: a better picture 😀

my 14381/82 in 14k gold.
Keeps incredible time however, the movement is a bit dirty and could use a service.
(and a new crystal)
