    This appears to be a nice one with Turler on its dial and the case is crafted.

    Strangely the Omega logo on the buckle is not upright.

    What do you think of it?

    Thank-you.

    I think it is a shame that this nice watch was customized in an imprecise way by an engraver with rudimentary skills.

    That dial is rather interesting, its not a Pie-Pan is it, looks more like a gold version of those moat or sunken dials. Moat sounds better. I'm actually a little tempted by that bracelet.

    Is the engraving on the bracelet authentic and if so, why is the Omega logo, not upright?

    Thank-you.

    If I could buy it for around melt, it doesn't matter too much if its original or not, its just a good wearable bracelet.

    I think that we got so focused on the bracelet that we forgot about this:

    Cal 550 in a Constellation? ::screwloose::

    Let's see, improper bracelet, franken-movement, false texturing on the bezel and $7,000 pricetag.

    Ummm...I don't think so!

    So as to have a genuinely one of its kind vintage time-piece.

    Thank-you.

    Now that's why they call you the InvestiGator.

    Please...no G's on the Gator. Especially during Florida/Georgia week.

    UGA-ly, isn't it? :thumbsdown:

    Back to that UGA-ly watch...I forgot about the incorrect crown. And I'll bet that the dial is really silver. The picture seems to have a very yellow cast to it. It's a shame, because I think that could be very useful to someone in the right situation.
