Actually Closers prices do look good.
Several years ago I bought a few bits from them but then their prices seemed to go up and when coupled with import duty it made them much less attractive. The prices now seem to have reverted to where they were a few years ago so even with import duty there’s good buys to be had.
Just check the bracelet size, particularly if a watch has an original omega bracelet. They’re often quite short and finding and installing spare links for omega beads of rice bracelets isn’t easy.

These are very interesting watches but a bit of an outlier in terms of mainstream Constellations- hence the cost to buy - however, they are also quite uncommon to find on the open market.

Yes, it's a quirky one, but I quite like it.

Probably something to do with the weaker Yen rather than price setting by Closer, but just my guess.

Possibly. It’s certainly not strength of the £!
