Very early Omega Constellation:

I inherited this piece from my Grandfather, it's awesome. It's a so called Pie-pan.

The Muller is nice but there is ONE issue; why the **** does the dial say "PLATINUM ROTOR"? Wouldn't it be easier to just keep the price tag on it?

Cpt Obvious-texts on dials is a real dealbreaker to me - and somehow the Saxonians are experts...

Lovely watch, but even Helen Keller would have noticed that there is a panodate and a moonphase.

Or working in a fashion buying office for over a year.
I feel like a mosquito in a nudist colony. I know what to do I just don't know where to start.

I have a small collection of Pie Pan Constellations. It is a fantastic watch and yours is a very nice example. It looks to be the original dial which is in very good condition. It is hard for me to tell from the photo -- are parts of the dial silvery or mirrored? Some were made that way and some were not. I also like the shape of the markers.

That Patek is so nice. That model has been around forever.

Here's my favourite dress watch. It was very inexpensive. I don't think Benrus watches are on anybody's radar ...

Benrus isn't a highly collectable name, but they did have some very nice Swiss movements.

Complicated watches are often too big, mostly too thick, and always too busy to qualify as classical dress watches.

Thank you Sator and Teacher.

Here for both of you is my digicam pic of a page from an old Swiss watch industry book.

That was the only picture of a 3940 that I could readily locate. You will notice that the dial notations aren't even in English. Mine is in English. In any case, you do get an idea of what my watch looks like.

On mine - I'd love a Type I any day of the week.
