    I am only selling this watch because I hardly ever wear it (my 2852 gets the pie pan wrist time). It was last serviced in September 2017 by Richard Askham and has kept time very nicely on the few occasions I've worn it since. The 551 movement dates to around 1961. It comes with a genuine 1068 Omega BOR with 570 end links which I put on it after buying it head only in 2012. The crown is almost certainly original to the watch. The furniture on the original, unrefinished dial and medallion are rose gold. You can see the sharpness of the case in the photos.

    The watch is very nice but not pristine. A previous owner had scuffed the crown quite badly and I considered replacing it but never got round to this. The case has the usual minor scratches. There is slight spotting and bubbling to the dial. It's not noticeable except close up and is the same now as it was when I bought the watch 9 years ago. The (presumably original) Omega crystal has a scratch between 8 and 9, and either a scratch or a crack between 7 and 8 which I've tried to show in a sideways on photo.

    This is a good, classic Constellation with the famous "pie pan" dial that is now so sought-after and so difficult to find in good order. I will answer any questions to the best of my ability and provide extra photos if required. I am located in England. I would like £1100 net to me for the watch, to include Royal Mail Special Delivery. I would prefer a UK sale and will accept Paypal F and F, bank transfer or a UK cheque.

    This is a great example. Also @ConElPueblo and I had a thread way back when where it was clear this scalloped crown is original to the 14381 and 14393.

    GLWS!
