Total franken watch, case is not a Omega case, movement seems to be Omega cal. 565 that is a non Chronometer movement that was not used in Constellation, dial i am not sure, could be a Constellation dial. DONT buy

Does it mean constellation case was never made in larger case diam than 36mm?
Cheers

There were rare 37mm cases: http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.sg/2014/12/the-14395-daddy-of-jumbo-omega.html
One of our members recently scored a lovely one

C case had 561, 564 and 751 plus the later ones with the 10xx movements.
