    Hello

    Found this Constellation from 1953 and wondered if it could be a good buy? Is it indeed 2648 case? Minute hand looks like it's been changed, other than that it looks good to me (but not as knowledgeable as most of you). Would you be able to help to tell me whether it's an original dial, and hands are all correct? How's the price for this one?

    Very much appreciate your help.

    Thanks again.

    1953 RARE OMEGA CONSTELLATION WATCH

    During the 1950's Omega produced a few case models for the Omega Constellation. All of which look very similar apart. However, certain case model such as this 2648 - 1 Constellation is probably the rarest among the bunch. They are not as popular and unknown to most collectors except for an Constellation fanatic. What makes this piece unique is the case is made slimmer than the other model. The movement is a front loader instead of sliding out from the back. And it is considered the non-waterproof Connie at the time as it does not take a case back gasket. But of course, in today's market, all vintage watches are no longer considered as waterproof anymore. Two ton dial is factory original and nicely patina. The solid stainless steel case measures 35mm across excluding the crown by 40mm lug tip to lug tip. The crystal is brand new. The movement is an Omega caliber 354 and has serial number 13633961 dating this watch to 1953. Will come with a new genuine high quality croco grain leather strap.

    Price: $1450.00 USD

    As the other watches you have posted, the price seems high. I have a similar one to this that I would part with for half that price. Be patient and you will find a nice 1953 Omega for much less on the for sale page here or on eBay.

    Okay, one time is bad. Twice is coincidence. But now 3 times you're asking about the same seller's watches...... do you work for them and are trying to get free plugs? All 3 watches are overpriced, this one not so much as the others.
