Your articles are a great resource and I'm learning a lot about vintage Constellations on my journey after aquiring my (genuine)stainless steel Cal 561, so this article is pertinent. Your last few posts certainly bring to mind a famous Chinese proverb with regard to false advertising... "hanging up the sheeps head and selling dog meat"!

While it's a largely ceremonial title these days, there are many, many purveyors of frankenwatches and downright fakes who have much more call on the title than you.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />desmondDesmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148245572518221306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-68443178085466705092009-04-27T16:00:00.000+08:002009-04-27T16:00:00.000+08:00Cut me some slack here guys - I made a mistake and...Cut me some slack here guys - I made a mistake and hadn't checked the watch out fully as I should have before listing - Much as you may like to believe I'm 'The Prince of Darkness'I can assure you I am not.newbiggenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527245709034486973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-80668542135305115432009-04-27T08:25:00.000+08:002009-04-27T08:25:00.000+08:00Yes Evan, I find usually that those who protest th...Yes Evan, I find usually that those who protest the loudest are most often those who have the most to be ashamed of.<br /><br />Usual denial and displacement stuff where I become the anti-christ for pointing out their deceptions - like the Indonesian seller who put a hex on me! <br /><br />Although, I'm pleased to say that my chickens are still laying and my goats do not have foot rot :)<br /><brDesmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148245572518221306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-59373305151577152162009-04-27T05:40:00.000+08:002009-04-27T05:40:00.000+08:00Des -

I share your sentiments :)<br /><br />Hmm... this listing was updated on April 21 and I believe there was no reference to 'Superb beautifully restored dial' when the listing first came out. The eBay log reveals that the 'Description' was revised.<br /><br />The Omega symbol on the dial looks a tad more than beautifully restored though :) I would love to see high res Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148245572518221306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-55362610313745063542009-04-21T19:10:00.000+08:002009-04-21T19:10:00.000+08:00Great work, Desmond.

One can only hope that people use the excellent knowledge you are providing (in form of essays) to build up their own knowledge base and be able to spot Frankenwatches. Note however that in the auction, the seller mentions "DIAL: Superb beautifully restored silver cross hair dial in mint condition" This alone would put me on alert. Cheersmazenoreply@blogger.com
