The omega vintage data base says 167.005 is a gold capped watch.
Constellation Omega 1962 CD 167.0005

This example was looks good to me, but clearly has only ever been steel.

According to the list provided my Desmond in his Constellation blog, 167.005 was produced in Yellow gold, pink gold, and stainless steel.

So everything is OK

Some SS 167.005s around with Piepan and normal dial, some already sold in OF

If you don't know Desmonds blog yet, here it is:

http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.de/

You will find there (nearly) everything on classic connies

The Omega vintage database is known to have missing data, so taking references such as Desmond's blog gives real world data.

Not so easy! Here is the "List of Constellation calibres with case reference / numbers"

I think this list is most important

Go through "Key collection posts" there are very useful articles about MOY, bracelts, dials...

That is a useful list. 1962 was a busy year in Connie world.
