Xin chào mọi người, tôi là thành viên mới và tiếng Anh của tôi không tốt lắm, xin hãy thông cảm.
Tôi tình cờ tìm thấy chiếc đồng hồ Omega Chòm Sao, theo như tôi biết từ các bạn thì mặt đồng hồ có vẻ là hàng chính hãng. Người bán mô tả tình trạng hoạt động nhưng thật không may là không có hình ảnh cụ thể, model 168.001 và tôi nghĩ có sự nhầm lẫn ở đây. Tôi khá thích và có ý định mua nó. Tuy nhiên, tôi muốn đăng nó ở đây để các bạn có thể tư vấn cho tôi. Cảm ơn các bạn rất nhiều.

Hello everyone, I am a new member and my English is not very good, please understand.
I accidentally found the Omega Constellation watch, as far as I know from you guys the dial seems to be genuine. The seller described the working condition but unfortunately there is no specific picture, model 168.001 and I think there is a mistake here. I quite like it and intend to buy it. However, I want to post it here so you guys can advise me. Thank you very much.

Welcome @PAPN

You are correct to ask as it is not a 37mm jumbo 168.001 but a 35.5mm dome dial 168.005 dogleg.

The watch itself looks to be in reasonable condition - although it has lived a life and showing some scratches, the bezel and lugs are still quite sharp.
I think the BOR is possibly a later addition.

Original crown.

Good looking dial with onyx inserts - you might get away with polishing the scratches out of the crystal. ( which is also original)

As the seller has stated the incorrect reference, I would want to see a pic of the movement and inner case back.
(Although I don’t think an .001 case back should fit an .005 case)

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your advice, unfortunately the seller did not provide a picture of the watch movement, I guess cal 561 but not sure. Thanks to the advice, I am more confident to make the transaction.

As a 168.005 the movt could be either a cal 561 or a 564.
Both are excellent movements, with the 561 having a semi-quickset date and the 564 having the quickset date
Before you commit to purchase, you should at least ask the seller why they thought it was a 168.001.
If the case backs are interchangeable and it has an .001 caseback this will devalue the watch significantly.
If they just took a guess at the reference and you don’t mind a bit of jeopardy then it would be up to you as to whether you’re willing to put your money down without seeing inside the watch.
