Here’s a 14 carat gold Omega Constellation pie pan (ref. 168.005/6) powered by a cal. 561.
Can my OF bros give me some advice? How do you like it? Do you see anything terribly wrong with it? I currently have no better pics of the inside and/or serial numbers at hand.
Thanks in advance!

I can't see anything terribly wrong. The case has been slightly polished. Looks like a decent piece to me.

 

Seems in great shape

 

Thanks! Any concerns about the dial?

 

I'll say this is a "bragging" post

Congrats anyways!

 

None I can see but others should chime in soon. Pie pan seems pronounced. ACH seem to line up ok. Lettering seems correct

 

Not a bragging post.

The watch is mine and I plan on putting it up for sale when it returns from overhaul. I have no doubts about this watch, but since my good name is attached to the sale, I want to know 100%... And what better place than Omegaforums...

 

Busy season -- Holidays....work.... Wait for others to chime in? .... Such as @gatorcpa and others well versed in these dark arts

 

Gator sure knews his sh*t... Advised me in 2012 when I bought my other Connie. Best buy evah!

I bought this one in a spur of the moment, all by my self (with Desmond's blog as back up).

 

Go with your gut

 

as Difeer pointed out, the only thing I see is that it was polished before (not too bad), the rest seems to check out

 

lovely watch Bart

dial is in good order -fonts looks spot on

looks like onyx inserts -most likely in gold indices

movement looks in good nick too

great medallion -barely any wear at all

only comment - as above - that the chamfers on the lugs are a little polished -but that is often the way with solid gold cases

congrats on a great Connie

 

Dial has Onyx inserts but does show some early ageing spots, about appropriate with the case's condition.

 

Very similar to my 168.005, heres a picture for comparison...

All looks good on your dial IMO. Lugs are a bit polished but other than that its a very nice watch!

 

Wow, is that a gold or a steel one? Looks very, very sharp!

 

wow - now that is crispy......

I'm sure there is a queue -but dibs all the same!

 

If you're referring to mine, its steel. It has gold markers and hands though.

I'll add you to the list.

 

Yeah, steel ones tend to keep their edges better. Still, that one is mega-crisp.

 

Gold ones can too!

 

My 1956er also has pretty sharp edges on the case.
