    Hi,

    Does this look ok? Only information is that it's 35mm and from 1966. Anyone know the Caliber and ref? Wrong crown?
    Is $800 a fair price?

    Thanks!

    It looks very similar to this one:
    https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-constellation-pie-pan-168-010.35307/

    I think yours looks pretty good. I'd like to see better close-up pictures of the dial without the hands obscuring the "Automatic Chronometer Officially Certified" and "Constellation".

    The hour markers at 6, 9 and 12 are different. I'm not saying they're wrong, just pointing out a difference.

    I can see that the applied star under "Constellation" is not in alignment. It is twisted counter-clockwise. It is either loose or was removed at some point.

    Is that green corrosion on the lower side of the right spring bar?

    The medallion is in good shape. The texture behind the stars is still visible. That seems to be the first thing to go. The scratches on the back would indicate that it has not been polished in preparation for sale. That is also generally considered to be a Good Thing. I'm not as knowledgeable about cases so I won't make a final judgement on correctness, but it looks ok. The lines are well defined around the bezel.

    You must request pictures of the inside of the caseback and the movement. That is the only way to know for sure what is correct for this watch. After that, then a valuation could be offered. There's not enough information here to make a reliable call.

    The minute hand looks a bit short to my inexpert eye comparing to my piepan. Its a pity the hand is covering the letters as obviously a MOY check is useful. More pics if possible?

    I'm not able to get any more or better pictures than this and it closes in 40 minutes so I think I will pass.
