Hard to judge the dial from the out-of-focus photos, plus the hands are covering a lot of the text. What I can see looks okay, but I would still hope for better photos. Case like pretty polished, although once again the photos are not the best for judging. It would come down to if you are okay with a case like this, and how much the seller wants for it.
+1 on the above.
likely a 14902 if the dial fonts are correct.
If the Omega and star are blackened it’s a sure sign of moisture ingress - hence the dial is spotted too.
The crystal is pretty grotty so you would have to look at the dial through the grot to asses it properly.
replacement crown.
BOR is a bonus
I would personally save my money and spend more on a watch in better condition
... but I would like to ask if ... the condition of the dial is good enough...
So its not considered a bargain price in any way
This is the main question, and only you can answer that. You are the only one who has seen it in-person, and it is a subjective question. If you are satisfied with the dial, then we can discuss price. It's certainly not a "collector-quality" example.
no not a bargain price.
if the dial was good then with the BOR it would be an okay price as the case is a little soft but not disastrous.
I know that your watch maker has checked it out but with the gunk around the crystal, blackened furniture and spotting on the dial, you have to also ask if moisture has affected the movement
yeah that I know but currently I cant afford buying a collector quality omega cause it costs a small fortune 😁 one side of me wants to buy it but I am holding back ..
"Small fortune" is obviously a relative term, but I think that many people would advise you to buy the best condition watch you can buy within your budget. Perhaps it will not be a Constellation, but you could find a nice Geneve or Seamaster. Usually, one regrets buying a watch in mediocre condition.
I’m sure it will look much better with a new crystal (cyclops crystals have no place on a Connie anyway....) but it depends on how visible the spotting is.
Absolutely no polishing of the case to maintain the remaining facets.
It would help if you could get an in focus pic of the dial as it’s impossible to tell if it’s correct from your current pics.
So its not considered a bargain price in any way
