Now I'm not very good at spotting fakes but to me the rear logo looks wrong and the word constellation on the dial look like it's written in bold text.

What do you guys and gals think?

Could be wrong again, but I didn't think Constellations had numbers on the dial.

Both look ok to me. The medallion in the first one is a tad worn.

The first one also .has an attrocious redial. The cross hair is interrupted and the Constellation lettering is a facsimile of the style of the late 60s instead of the earlier style.

The numerals at the quarter hours is correct and was one of many different dial styles.

I'm not sure about the second watch either. The picture are so poor, it's difficult to say if it's all original or not. My guess is that it has been redialled.

For a reference photograph of the numeral-style Constellation dial to which Desmond refers, please click here:
