    Hey OF
    Ive come across a seller selling a constellation with cal 1011. After a bit of research i realised it is
    168.0065 JDM model. The watch has been serviced last year in Nov and it is in working order. What do you guys think about this watch? From my amateur eyes it looks genuine but am i missing something? Price is about 1000us

    One last thing! i was actually waiting for a 168.005 constellation with cal 564 to come up in my country and i researched that cal 564 is more prefered to cal 1011. Do you guys think i should pass this one and wait? Thanks! KakaoTalk_20191010_232457999.jpg KakaoTalk_20191010_232942102.jpg KakaoTalk_20191010_232942607.jpg KakaoTalk_20191010_232943308.jpg

    As an owner of both this watch and a Ref. 167.005, I can tell your there are major differences between the two. The cal. 55X/56X version are larger, thicker and the dial has more of a 3D effect with the facets.

    The earlier models are also a bit more expensive, all other things being equal.

    The price on the 168.0065 is reasonable for the condition. The bracelet is a plus, but it was almost certainly added after original purchase. If Omega branded, it adds some value.

    Hope this helps,

    Case is a bit worn/polished for me, although as noted price isn't bad taking that into consideration
