indeed.....

this is the only pic -so hard to say for sure but there are some odd things going on with this watch
fonts look okay but:
minute markers on outside of dial 'fold'
star looks 'bloated' and too close to the script
indexes look really coarsely made

incorrect crown -but no big deal

the case could just be over-polished but my 'spidey-sense' says it looks a little suspect?

-and of course -to my knowledge -without a time machine a 14900 never started its life with a 564

more thoughts on this one?

"Gentlemen's Omega Constellation wristwatch, circular silver dial with applied baton hour markers, inlaid luminous hands, date aperture situated at three o'clock, calibre ref no. 564, stainless steel screwdown caseback ref 14900, a/f"

 

Lume on the hour hand and none on the minute hand.

 

Just came across this nice rose gold dog legged, original dial with correct font for 14902 62 SC but when opening the caseback it has a 561 serie 23.9 mil equipped......no where near 1962 i supposed.

 

The strip on the minute hand might be tritium that has gone dark from moisture/dirt. The hour hand, however, has been clumsily redone.

Actually, between 3 and 5 they appear to cross the fold
...And of course the script has been redone.

A really st example.

 

I know it's hard to tell from the pic
But what about that case?
Polished or fake?

 

I think the 167s came in around '62
the last 561s ran up to around '67 in C-cases -according to Desmond's calibre/case info
so a 561 23,9xxM puts it in that range -so unlikely in a 14902
any pics of the movement?

nice case and dial though......

 

No picture but i looked at the movement in person, clearly the case and dial does not match that 561 with serie that high. A franken for sure so I just pass.
