First post from this newbie! Great site and thanks for all of the great posts and pics!!!
I have a chance to buy a cal. 551 ss constellation (probably restored dial) in great shape and very well taken care of. circa 1962. pie pan. gold indices & hands. it also has a NOS 1286/249 ss bracelet/clasp. the owner has provided me w/ the cal., serial #, but says he doesn't know the reference #.
My question for the experts:
1. Isn't the ref on the inside of the case back?
2. What is fair market value this watch (ballpark)?
3. Anything else I should look out for?
Thanks!
