Advice on Omega Constellation (1963, 168.005 Silver Dial, Cross-hair)

Hi everyone,

I’m interested in buying this Omega Constellation which I've included some photos below. Any general thoughts on the condition of the watch?

The only thing that I have noticed is that the cross-hair seems slightly misaligned (cutting into the Omega symbol unevenly). I am not sure if this is a manufacturing fault as I've seen some other cross-hair dials with the same cosmetic, but wanted to put it out there if it's something of concern.

That's a good example of what you want to avoid. So don't buy that one, and spend more time studying the printing on original dials, the original shape of cases, crowns, etc.

Lots of good information here:

Welcome @klee0021

Well done for asking here before buying.

Heavily polished case with redialled dial.

I dread to think what the seller was asking.

As @Dan S says - one to avoid.

That Mediterranean blue hint you mentioned is spot on. It looks far richer than the stock photos suggested.
