Good afternoon everyone

After a relentless 15 years old search I finally got what missed so much to my Omega collection, a Constellation Dome with cal 352 and this one is the ref 2652-1. I won the auction following my strategy to bid in the last 9 seconds before the end of the auction and it worked finally today because the 15 previous times if not more over the years I have been outbid 1 or 2 seconds before the bidding ended. In relatively good shape , it will go to service and will get a new bracelet. Pics from the seller , will post mine when I receive it.

Best regards

Georges

 

Looks like a redial to me, note the single crossed 't's in 'Constellation, this is one of a few clear signs given you say an early 2652 with cal 352.

Did the seller state original dial?

 

I agree it looks redialled, cross hair is broken either side of star.

 

No, he said it was redialed but this doesn't bother me

 

It's not a pie pan either.

 

Surely this is a dome and not a pie pan

Apologies I see this has been pointed out

 

I didn't know but thanks I have learned something new

 

As long as you are happy with it then nothing else matters.

 

Yes, I am aside from the redial it is in pretty good shape and original also it is a stainless steel model , maybe later I will get a model 504 or 505 connie

 

An 11.9 million serial number is very early for a Constellation, I'm not sure of the earliest but I think you are there or there abouts.

 

I emailed the seller to cancel the transaction and asked for a refund.

 

I like it. Wear it in the best of health Georges.

 

Oops...

 

Seller told me I will get my refund

 

The search continues.....

I'd start looking here, very good examples pop up regularly

 

I want one with zero patina, an absolutely pristine movement and not a redialed one. If you hear about one in pristine condition, please do let me know as I have been hunting for a very very long time for one. Next month, I am not in a hurry. I have looked on chrono 24 but what I have seen was not in that great condition and prices were and are high for the condition the watches are. I will look on ebay and I will post the link of an auction if the watch I want is worthy the try so that I can have all the right feedback before bidding

 

I suspect if one like this shows up people will be tripping over each other to buy it, versus letting someone else know about it How much did you agree to buy the redialed one for? One like you are now seeking will probably be around $2k USD (and will not come around very often...).

 

Good lord...this was a heartbreaking thread! @georgeszaslavsky Glad you're getting a refund, but sorry the long search continues!
