I love fliegers, esp with this dial layout ... but am I being a buffoon even considering it?

 

Yes, you are. NEVER EVER buy ANYTHING from the Ukraine.

 

Figured as much, just needed a few sensible 'old hands' to strangle my Jones. Thankee

 

Where else should I not buy from ... previous to now all my purcases have been from dealers or trusted forum members, so Im prett green when it comes to ebay

 

Lol, thanks Lou

 

Much appreciated

 

I am surprised Israel is there. I've seen many nice vintage Omegas there, albeit at high price. Any bad experience before?

 

Funny that I was about to put the same info as Lou for primary NO BUY ZONES….. except both him & I have recently scored sweet watches from South America (click here for my story). Granted, I've put up with more headaches from there to list and a forum member here has caught a South American eBay buyer/seller in a scam involving his watch and a bold faced lie so it's even a risk for veterans.

I'd add Vietnam to the absolute no buy list, particularly for vintage Constellations, unless you're a hardened Omegamaniac.

 

If you love this style and that dial layout, build your own. And then it won't be a fake/franken/POS and it'll be something you can be proud of as well.

Cases, dials and movements are available all over the place.

Look around here for example.

Good Luck with your project!

Or you can buy one complete if you don't have watch tinkerer skills

You forgot about all of the XXXXXXXstan countries

 

Already have a flieger, just liked the vintage/omega connection.

You mean the silk road is off limits too! Now that I can't believe

 

Do you mean Carjackistan, Thievistan, and AlQaedistan? I just lump them all in with the Ukraine.

 

And Joiseystan too
