    Genuine but the dial has been poorly refinished and the case heavily polished, I'll stop there.

    PASS.

    Don't know why the case clamps don't engage properly ?

    Dial is re done and not particularly well. If you want a re done dial, Burlington Arcade in London have them (pretty sure the place is Somlo and they are affiliated with Omega).

    I would pass on this one, but the Dog Leg piepan Connie is my favorite version from 50s-60s.

    Is the crown a replacement as well? It is signed, but doesn't look right.

    I think you're right. I believe these are supposed to have an 8 sided crown

    You are right about the 8 sided crowns that match the "pie pan" geometry. I have an early Pie pan with a seamaster style crown, but I'm pretty sure it is original. I have heard that Omega used the seamaster crown in the very early pie pan's. This one however doesn't look like that style either.

    I just looks "thinner". Or am I crazy?

    10-sided, not 8-sided.

    And not all Constellations from this era had them.
