Good evening to you all. I bought a '63 constellation a few months back and noticed that it had a small, convex lump in the place indicated. What would cause this? Clumsy service with a screw slightly too long? On close inspection there is patina on the dial, and the omega logo on the crystal, so I think (hope) it is original. BTW what is indicated by the red square to the right of of LATEST? No of threads unread? Cheers
No idea why your watch has a pimple. Maybe have it checked for cancer? The red square is an alert - someone has mentioned you, liked one of your posts, replied to one of your posts, or replied to a thread that you are watching. You can find the details under "Alerts"
Looks like a pressure mark from the dial foot. Most dials have two feet that are the attachment points to the movement.
The dial may have lost a pin which have been soldered back on badly? The number in square are also alerting you on "likes"...
was the lump there all the time or did it start developing? ... movement might be screwed in too tightly, thus adding pressure to the leg the dial is sitting ... if that is a fairly new development, I'd have a watchmaker have a look at it ... if it was there to begin with ... learn to live with it ;-)
Maybe a screw from the back. Some threads are tapped all the way through. Possibly too long of a screw on re-assembly? It happens.
Bingo - this is exactly it. Seen it a few dozen times on various watches, one of them being a late 60's Constellation.
Sadly, my Constellation has a bump on the dial like that. I bought it knowing it was like that, but it still occasionally bugs me.
