I suppose they are all old ones... But, this one is new to me...I recently sold a grail of an omega in the sales forum...and, I couldn't pass this big oversized and Beautiful early Constellation up... One owner wore only at the weekends, so for that reason it will be only worn by me on very special occasions, I can't get enough of the porcelain white dial and arrowhead marker combo! I know there are a few collectors who appreciate these even more than me!! 馃榾 But I sincerely think this was one of the nicest references Omega made. Still need to see the innards!

Such beautiful photos, Ed. I think I may have indirectly enabled this purchase when I wrote that post about the Watchbuys Chicago roadshow a few weeks ago!

Just received this in the mail from Al of Archer Watches. Purchased this from Al, he included a full service and I couldn't be happier! Even though this is not a chronometer Al has it running well within Omegas specifications for one.馃憤

This is in like new condition and the ETA 7750 is running like a top...and the dial is just spectacular, it catches the light so nicely. So with this as my new daily driver I guess its time to sell my Speedmaster triple date chronometer cal. 7751.馃槈

Think so.....But it seems bigger than my other 2648, even the dial looks bigger, most likely because it's a dome dial! Around 36mm.. 馃憥

No not really Adam, this has been in the works since Dec. 2013. But it did make me think about it more.馃槈

Thank you, I bought it for the patina and the unexpected bonus was the original Gay Freres BOR bracelet that came with it.

Too large I am afraid. Found a couple of tips via Google, all suggesting to open the middle links on the back side where you can see the seam. Not sure I want to take pliers to it though...
