    Probably why there's always so many of them showing up on the market.

    The expensive parts are the artisinal rusty springbars. Those are weathered slowly to perfection in the scorching African sun.

    Plus the custom job on that crystal. That didn't just happen overnight.

    Walked into a vintage watch boutique in the Burlington Arcade. Saw this Constellation Deluxe in the window. Just wanted to have a look. Alligator strap, so no gold. Original 18K buckle though, according to the seller. cal 561. One spot on the dial. £7000!

    Would be interesting to know what sort of turnaround time they're calculating with.

    Kim Il-Sung North Korean Dictator Signature Dial Constellation - For when you simply don't want to leave the house without being reminded of the beloved leader of the DPRK.

    And at the communist friendly price of $9,500 USD no less :D
