·Worst thing about these is, you just know they’re gonna sell, and for a price.
I’m guessing it’s “rare” or even “unique”, possibly “professionally restored”.

·In fairness, I like how the seller described this dial as „not very professionally restored” 😁

·Received 36 bids.
Maybe it's still at £136. But 36?

·Here's mine. I knew it was a refin before I bought but didn't know just how amateurish it was until later. The hands and crown were changed at my request. It had what were, probably the correct Dauphne style hands, and a knurled crown but I like this one better and it seems to be found on many of these older Constellations. Anyway, it's more iconic to me. While the dial looks gold in the photo, it's actually a warmish silver and the contrast with the gold indices and hands makes it easy to read. This has the 14k gold cap and I paid $500 from a local watchmaker who is an excellent watchmaker but not as fussy about correct restorations. The old 561 movement keeps within 3-4 seconds a day.
I happen to be wearing this watch today and it looks great on the wrist to anyone but someone who knows what the hands and dial *should* look like. The photo is from a couple years ago. I've had this watch for 17 years now.
This is a 1960 174..... serial number and a 14393 8 SC reference. Fortunately, I can't read the fine print on the dial without strong readers but it irks me still and I've debated having the dial sent to Casey at Kirk's in Seattle. But $250 plus the cost of taking the watch apart and yada, yada, yada...
Anyway, remember, once you see this, you can never unsee it!

Ah! Isn't it the dream of all redial collectors to own a Seamasler one day? It's much rarer than a Seanaster.
