Wow that is one horrible condition and probably even a redial 😁
Dial is original - but yes, horrible is not an overstatement.

Dont know if it is allow to be a little disappointed with a nice Omega 😀

No description or size, just working Omega, for auction. Won it well under 300$

I used the normal method and measured the lug distance and diameter and calculated the diameter from the normal 18 mm. between the lugs.
I seemed to be a 36 mm. ref. 2892 with the case form and back.

It came today and is a very nice watch, running well BUT not a ref. 2892 or 36 mm. case 🙁

Instead a ref. 2830-4 SC cal. 420 from 1956 AND just under 33 mm. It use a 16 mm. strap so my measurement did not work this time 😬

Nice watch though

If you got that for $500 then you certainly did well! Lets see a pic then, one of my favourite Speedys.

A little late, but still 😀

I picked up this constellation yesterday, from a local watchmakers shop. I stopped by to get a battery for an old digital watch. Then started chatting with the watchmaker, asking if she had any watches for sale. She brought out this Connie, she said” make me an offer”,($300) and she accepted it. My wife loves it, so I’ll let her wear it. It was my lucky day!

Bought this for close to 500. Waiting for it to show up. I had been after one for quite some time, but the price on dealers was nearly double and most were missing bracelets. I tried to negotiate the price, but dealers wouldn't budge so I had to look for auctions.
