Decagonal crowns are a hallmark . . .
. . . of first and second generation Connies. Not all had them, but most did.

"Never on Sunday", . . .
. . . take two. Melina or Nana? Too long since Black Connie had a spin on my wrist. I think she'll be sticking around . . . . . . for awhile. Art ...
Black Connie deserves a serenade . . .
. . . from Connie Francis, no? Connie sings for Connie Happy Sunday, Nicolas . . .
It's a stunning piece Dr No
All of the dial markings and the hour marking is so harmoniously unique.
I learned how to play 'Never on Sunday' . . .
. . . while taking music lessons many years ago. It's long been one of my favorites . . .
The lugs on this one are very special
And the markers are unique. For an oldie, this one is looking better than many of its younger siblings!
I've only seen one other ref 2852 with the same . . .
. . . layout, Richard - steel case, black engraved dial, and rose gold hands and markers. If you find one, grab it . . . they're even more delectable irl than photos. Best, Art
Wonderful shots, Art...
Never did notice the faceted crown shape before - very nice detail

That constellation watch is just too much for me!
An eye opening for every single morning! Like a kopi luwak with some pinch of brown sugar in an exquisite cup!
Never had kopi luwak, Jev . . .
. . . but it's on my bucket list, for sure! And that's an apt analogy: luscious black dial sweetened with rose gold furniture is like a perfect cuppa coffee with brown sugar ;-) . . .
Are both ref 2852s, or . . .
. . . just the first, Steve? I'm guessing ref 2652 for the second. Damned difficult to find these days in any condition . . . the knife-sharp edges on yours makes it even more desirable. I've posted this '57 ref 2852 before here as well as on Omega Forums...
