Respectable members
Need your advice for Constellation 505

is it worth to take this connie at $ 600.- ?
the lacks are :

1. The Aging Dial
2. The Wrong Hands
3. The Automatic Rotor

here are the pictures :

best Regards

Looks like the rotor is touching the back of the caseback? The case looks very nice, I would go for it if it wasn't for that green stuff on the dial, and I'm usually a fan of this kind of aging! Maybe at $550...

kyle : very nice colection sir...👍

by the way : I have a terrible Constellation's dial, Called Vitruviman

message for Connie Afficionados : please don't hate me because of this 😜 , I was the one who tricked to have a refinished one

The price isn't out of the ballpark if you like that much patina on the dial, but I wouldn't go for it unless as a parts watch - and it would have to be cheaper than $600.

Now that's something I have never seen before...😁 The oddest one I have is this one, reminds me of a leopard. 😜

In the Rolex world, this watch would be advertised as "Tropical". Which roughly translated from vintage Rolex speak means "Thoroughly shagged out"
