·Greetings,
I acquired this watch from the lovely recommended ebay thread. dsio posted it, and put it on my radar. This is my third Omega to purchase. First a gift, second a rusty 167.007 that I am attempting to rescue, and now this. I had been eyeing some other Constellations, but this ticks a few boxes for me. Totally stoked to have it. The gilt dial does have some imperfections, but to me they acceptable. It measures 35mm, 38mm w/crown. Hidden lugs, so vertically it is 40mm.
I will say, I do not believe this is the correct bracelet for it, which should be a 2051. However, it fits nicely, looks fine, and I'm ok with wearing it as it is.
On the off chance that anyone has a 2051 bracelet, or a gasket for this reference, please let me know! Especially the gasket. My local watchmaker does not have an Omega account, but he is a good guy and would put the gasket in for me.
Thank you to the forum, and to all who contribute. Happy to have acquired such a rare piece.
