Up for grabs is my 18K 1954 Constellation DeLuxe reference 2799 caliber 354. Simply put, you’d be hard pressed to find a better example than this one, and the very small number of guys that have managed to secure a better specimen aren’t parting with theirs. The watch was serviced about 2 years ago, with a VERY light polish done. The pictures pretty much tell the story. I’m basing my price on what some eBay listings ended at (aka: kstar and Alex in Mexico) in the last year-ish – and this watch is better than those; maybe all of them. The pictures will do the majority of the talking:

The movement is immaculate:

Now on a burgundy lizard strap with logo buckle:

If you aren’t a fan of the burgundy, I can always give the buyer a black or chocolate brown glove leather Kelaran strap at no extra charge too.

More photos available on request although I suspect they won’t be necessary. First person to come up with the asking price of $4200 gets it, otherwise I’ll take the best offer after a few days…. if it lasts that long. Contact via message / conversation here at Omega Forums ONLY so I can assure everyone that first come is first served according to the time I receive the PM. Seriously guys, I won’t say who I discussed pricing with this morning, but suffice it to say he was disappointed he didn’t have any funds in the watch chest for it. Paypal happily accepted. Other forms of payment can be negotiated if necessary. Shipping terms will need to be discussed especially outside the CONUS.

Gentlemen, start your keyboards!

A shame our custom rules is so crazy, or I would be all over it. Ever travel to any of the EU countries, so you can ship it from there?😜

Like the original post says - offers are welcome. I want to move this on to somebody who'll wear it as I don't anymore.

Would a f2f include a shot of the snow blower ? 👍

Yes, I did - two offers at the same time, and I replied to you. Let's take it to PM. As you see, I marked it.

Never thought I'd see you sell this one.....


It's all the Centenary's fault. While the dial on this 2799 is mesmerizing, the 2500 is the perfect gold dialed vintage watch for me. Those of you who know me know my rule - if I ain't wearing it, chances are it's going on the block sooner or later.
