Hi All,

I have just purchased a Constellation 'Pie Pan', case 168.0065, Cal 1011 and wonder how common these watches are? I have seen some around on the web and wonder if they are really as rare as some describe? Does anyone know production numbers or number of years built? Any feedback appreciated.

Thank you for your help.
Regards,

 

Not rare. But uncommon yes.

 

Pictures or it didn't happen

 

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. How do you define uncommon? I have added a pic maybe you can tell me more? Thank you very much for your help.

regards,

 

Years in production 1974-1977

Hi,

Thanks very kind.

Correct @Jukebox63
The japan model as you’ve now likely got to. Cheers

 

There are also a couple of threads on OF on this watch.
Try googling Omega forums and the reference and you should find them.
congrats on your Connie by the way.

 

Hi,
Thanks, I hope it was a good buy. To my beginner's eye it seems in good condition.

Did that one come with original papers from 1980?

When Desmond wrote his article they were rare. But with the growing internet things changed and you see these 'last pie pans' every year a couple of times. I would say between 5 to 10 times a year. It was one of the reasons I've sold mine.

 

Hi,

yes has it has papers, 5-10 different watches is not so bad? Now I understand you distinction between rare and uncommon.

Thanks

 

The OP's watch has papers from 1980.

 

Hi, sorry not sure what is meant with OP forgive my ignorance.

 

OP = "Original Poster" or "Original Post"

The person who started the thread, or the initial post.

 

Hi which OP are you referring to? Cheers

 

Your watch. It has papers from 1980 right?

 

Waiting for it to arrive. Can tell you then from what year but it is this watch. What are your thoughts on this? Price ok? Thanks

 

Price and condition are . I thought 1980 was strange with a serial 37xxx. So i would like to see those papers.

 

The year it's sold is not necessarily the year it was made.
