Wow....

 

Yes.

 

Yeah, but based on the feedback, it seems an ok seller.

 

Thanks Harry, I wasn't aware of that.
I was considering having a punt on this connie deluxe

However the no returns and no response for request for better pictures has prevented me.

 

The seller of this watch asked for advice here.. Maybe their Grandfathers, and seldom worn.. We concluded it was a nice untouched example, but with crown replaced. I would also factor in a service, too. I couldn't say where this piece will end up...Luckily i'm only watching!

 

I know what you mean. He should of left it to find it's true market value. I think with the right pics this one would fly!

 

I totally agree. Someone tried touching up the dial. The 2nd letter O and M in Chronometer has been touched up and do not match the same letters in the dial. The 2nd letter O font is bigger and wider than the rest and the dial finish below it to the hands looks like some kind of cleaner was used because of the discoloration.

 

I saw this and thought the minute hash marks looked off.

 

Hi All

i am not an expert but if you make some investigation the reference 14381/2

engraved in the case back is not for this dial

and the case back not engraved constellation and waterproof

like in the other Grand luxe

so i think it s a rebuilt Watch with ORIGINAL Omega part

or the Watch is all original but the dial was changed in the past

if someone who know can confirm wath i think

perhaps it s right or perhaps wrong i am not an expert .

 

I just found this in my investigation


precious information to conserve
