More to the point, what are your thoughts and worries about this?
Like you, I’m new to C case Constellations but, as I understand it, the earlier chronometer models have the dial with the star at the bottom and either 561 or 564 movements
And some later chronometer models can have the type of face layout of the dial you’ve posted often with a 751 movement.
Someone will correct me if I’ve got that wrong.
It looks nice, how much is the seller asking?
Sounds like a good price. You might even negotiate with the seller. You might look at the listings on eBay (both for sale and sold) and Chrono24 to compare prices.
Regards ,
Local seller in my city offered this for sale… i’ve done some researched and found it a bit strange… maybe i just not search enough… is it posible omega 751 with this dial variation??
Thanks for the help..

To answer your question @flashmedan
The watch in question sits on the cusp of the new 168.057 being issued in 1972 (day/date with the new script and knurled bezel)
So, two possible options:
1. Someone has swapped the later dial into an earlier case/movt combo
2. It's just possible that Omega had some old cases and movements lying around that they used up with new dials.
Either way, I personally think you didn't miss out on anything as:
1. The originality of the combo is hard to prove correct without papers or an extract
2. the case of this watch is pretty heavily polished IMHO
hope that helps
