Info wanted about this Constellation
I was given this Constellation Megaquartz 32khz quite a few years ago. It was very battered with a broken bracelet. I always liked its retro looks especially the cushion face. Recently I decided to have a go at restoration and I think it came up quite nicely. I was lucky to find a crystal. In fact my Rollies have taken second place for wrist time, for the moment anyway.
I was wondering if anyone can tell me a bit about this model. I think its early 70's. |
