·Hey all I am just getting into vintage Omegas and picked this one up. Do you think this dial has been touched up? Any other thoughts? This is a 2853 Constellation Deluxe.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersThe pics aren’t great but the dial looks to be ok - although, as I’m sure you realise, there is some blistering to the lacquer.
You’ve described the watch as a 2853 deluxe. I presume it is an 18k case but a deluxe should have a solid gold dial and whilst the case back is likely to have dual references it is more likely a gold cased 2852.

·Ah…. Yes you are right and that solves a mystery for me. I’m new to vintage omegas so I’m learning.
So it’s not a deluxe, but it is a gold cased Constellation 2852? The deluxe would have the gold dial.
Thanks for the education.
