New arrival, Omega Constellation ref. 168.017, cal. 564 from 1969 with texture dial 馃榾

Had a NOS 1040 I have put on it.


I haven't seen this before. I love the textured dial! AND the way the bracelet sits flat. I am in love.

Now that's a good combo! The movement looks good. The dial certainly has a lot of signs of aging. Are you going to do anything with the dial or leave it be?馃榾
It's a little better under the crystal馃槜 I will leave it as it's a fairly rare French market dial..

I came across a Memomatic that I couldn't let go. Crown is missing. Movement needs service. But the dial is pretty good.

Build a watch 馃榾

Buy a NOS Omega Gen茅ve case with original dial, glass, crown, hands and movement holder. Went so cheap at auction I think the seller had a bad day.
Add a cal. 601 from the spare part box, a service, remove the purple stuff and a new gasket (the old one had gone to melt down goop). Add an old Omega Corfam racing strap and you have a nice cheap for fun watch (not selling, I know its a franken 馃榾 )
