·After owning, researching, looking, admiring quite a lot of 4-digit Constellations I came to an dead end on an aspect I have not reflected on much before - is there a rule regarding having lugholes or not?
My assumption is that all solid gold ones does not have lugholes, no matter what the reference.
I dont count the Centenary and the 2648 here which I know have lugholes.
So lets focus on the steel and gold capped ones. My assumption was that all 2652 and 2782 have lugholes but the 2852 could have both, probably the early 2852 (maybe some kind of transitional) is the ones that usually have the lugoles and the later don't.
All good so far in my world, but then I stumbled across this 2652 sold here recently (which looks like a very crisp and sharp case btw):

I tried research a bit but could not find anything on the topic, is there a rule here? Or could potentially all references have and not have lugholes?
I have not paid much interest in globemasters or other country specific models, french cased, jumbo models and so on so my above assumption mostly referes to the more usual 2652,2782 and 2852. So basically the 354 movement and forward.
