Could this listing be any more obnoxious? "Rare" (four times in the listing, twice as "extremely rare"), "tropical" dial (four times in the listing), "Investment grade condition". 🤮

The case looks like it has been reconditioned, with a price 1.5 times a "barn find - almost NOS - complete set with box, papers and hang tag" example.

As is, I concur with 3-4 times the price for what it really is.

I’ve got a white Ultrauberrare honeycomb Seamaster I would let go for half that price...it would be tough since it is investment grade and I could be shortchanging my retirement portfolio. But I would be willing to do it for a special member here.

Although the price for that watch is ridiculous, I’m amazed at what correct vintage Constellations in good condition, particularly pie pans, are selling for these days. It’s getting increasingly difficult to find a good one for less than 2k.

Not that crazy to me, constellations was the pinnacle of Omega in the 50s and 60s.
Compare it to what other big brands (Rolex, Zenith, IWC, Jaeger) chronometer graded flagship models costs in correct and good condition. I am amazed the really good constellations have not been more expensive before now!

« Charismatic » sounds like something Philips auctions would use. Beautiful watch though.
