    Offered here is my 1954 Omega Constellation ref. 2782-6sc in gold cap and stainless steel being run by its chronometre rated cal. 354 movement. This example of the early bumper operated Constellation is in beautiful condition. All original watch that I am that second owner of, this watch was pampered by the original owner and it really does show. Its cross-haired dial does show signs of lacquer degradation for the exposure to sunlight but... It is completely legible and intact. I have had the dial looked at by a professional watchmaker, Scott Heisler of Orlando Watch Co., a second generation watchmaker, degreed and certified to work on all major brands to include Omega, Breitling, Cartier and Rolex to name a few. Ivory dial is 100% original and has a feature only Mother Nature and time can produce. In person, you see a suede-like look to the dial, very unique!! Crystal is perfect with Omega symbol still visible in the center. Hands and crown are original and wonderful shape.
    The case of the gold capped Connie has not been banged or desk rashed as one would expect of a watch of its age. Facets are intact and clean. An unpolished case that was not abused. And that Observatory! Looks like the day it was placed on the case back. Crown is very sharp and crisp.
    The cal. 354 movement is running like it was just assembled yesterday and is spot on. Very clean and a well taken care of timepiece. And of course has the original Omega buckle to top it all off.
    I am very pleased to offer this Constellation for consideration and it comes with a nice bed, the original box, for it to relax in while it is not on the wrist.
    I really cannot say much more about the watch, I will let it speak for itself.
    Offered at $1100. PayPal ok plus 4% with free shipping to US, shipping at cost to most other countries. Ask for shipping quote.

    Thank you,
    Wayne

    Didn't need my luck. In the time it took me to get back to typing my comment after getting side-tracked, it looks like you found yourself a deal! Congrats to the new owner, too!

    Wow. Nice watch.
    You would have had a PM from me on that one if I had been here.
    Congrats to both.
