The fiancée (soon to be wife) got the Purple constellation.
It's hard to get a pic of it, the purple changes depending on the light.
Here's the pic from the website. Both watches look much better in person, the Hour vision is more of an off-white than white. The Purple constellation is a very deep purple and reflects light in a way I can't explain, but there is some depth to it.
As for price, I got about 20% off retail which seems to be standard for most stores in Calgary.
My parents did find this at a garage sale for $1.
The second hand is detached and the crystal is yellowed. I'm getting a quote for it to be restored. If it can be fixed, probably slap on a black or brown leather strap. It appears to date back to the late 50's, early 60's. Will know for sure once they open it up and see the movement.
