    Up for sale is my 1971 Omega Constellation ref. 168.0056 cal. 1011.

    The condition is very good, and as the pictures will show the steel still has its original finish of concentric brushing on the head and starburst on the bezel. Any polishing in the past will have been very light. The grey dial is almost blemish free, except for a small area near the 6 o'clock marker. There are very slight scratches on the crystal as well as a nick at 9 o'clock. The mesh bracelet is absolutely wonderful and is like nothing I've ever tried. Solid feel and perfect fit. The watch runs great, the quick-set date and everything else works just fine, though there are marks after a loose rotor on the inside of the case back as well as wear marks on the rotor, and I suggest servicing if the watch is to be worn regularly.

    $530 / £400 / €470 PayPal inc. Shipping at cost. No returns unless the watch isn't as shown/described. Watch and seller is located in Denmark.

    I have done a number of transactions on here, and so far no-one has figured out I'm a scammer :D

    ConElPueblo great seller!
    ConElPueblo top notch seller
    ConElPueblo is a really nice seller
    NickW - a trusted buyer

    EDIT: Added a few more pictures, inc. some of the movement. Notice that there are marks from rubbing, however there is no discernible play or wobbling in the rotor.

    Yet another edit, as I have confirmed the watch to be from 1973, not 1971!

    You'll have to forgive me for not including movement shots (as well as the reference!!), but I haven't had the opportunity to open it lately - will post both as soon as I can.

    EDIT: Done.

    I think everybody should have a classic C case of some description.

    GLWS!

    Here's a photo Gatorcpa uploaded some time ago:

    Notice that mine naturally doesn't have golden markers/hands as it's a SS version.
    I thought mine was a 1971 model, but that is probably an erroneous claim, looking at the above and after having consulted the serial numbers charts online... I'll change the original post after this.


    Just noticed that it says that the case back is a press-in. Nice to see I'm not the only one making up stuff :taunt:
