Missing bezel a total dealbreaker for me!

 

Photos look abysmally bad, the dial looks ok with just scratches on the crystal but the most significant thing is that this watch is actually missing its bezel by the looks and you'll have no chance of finding one of them laying around

 

That money could buy you a good constellation WITH a bezel

 

Almost 100% certain it won't have a 352.

 

As I said looking at the dial it did not come from the factory with a 352. And I'd like to think I know a little something about constellations with cal. 352 in them.

 

The pictures are so crappy that someone probably didn't notice the missing bezel and assumed "hey thats a perfect watch that just needs a new crystal and a service" most likely IMO

Bad photo auctions are often an awesome opportunity, bad photo auctions with badly scratched up crystals are even more so, they're a lucky dip of sorts, but people sometimes can't see the forrest for the trees (I've been guilty plenty of times)

Many eyeballs is always better than one eyeball

 

That dial is probably original but for me it is too aged.

 

What is more remarkable is the price. Last summer people were paying 3200-3800 for decent looking De Luxes. Now 3100 for crappy fuzzy scratched up ones??
