Different dials on same Constellation model (168.019 Cal. 751): right price?

ilrocco · Jan 18, 2015

Hi,
I'm new at Omega vintage watches so I'm trying to learn about it 😁
I saw two Constellation: same model ST 168.019, same caliber 751, same year 1968, BUT different dials.
This is the page on Omega Vintage Database: is it the right one?
One dial is white, the other one is grey/silver. Is it correct? The white one is a version with english day, the silver one is the italian version: the difference of the dials color could depend on this fact?
Redial?
Thank you! 😀

That is perfectly fine. The same reference may have different configurations such as dial colours or hour markers etc.

Thank you Gavin. So, now, I have another doubt.
Different sellers and (more or less) same watch: the first one (white dial) is about 950 euro, the second one (grey/silver) is about 600 euro. What could be the right valuation?

Hi ilrocco,
The price of a watch depends on many things, not just dial. Case, movt, accessories (box etc) all play a part. Plus seller optimism too plays a part.

I'm not sure about the 1st one , it looks like a redial (though it's just 1 picture), which would lower the value. I'm not an expert though, and would wait for them to chime in. The 2nd dial looks (IMO) to be original and not redialled / refinished.

I too think the white dial has been repainted, there are no T's near the Swiss made and yet there is tritium on the dial and hands...

Both watches have wear on the rotor edge where is contacting the back. Service will have to address this.

Mmm...600 euro for the grey dial one: worth? 😕

I personally would pass on both...

This is one of many reasons why. (Look at the inside of each case back) 600 euro for grey one much too high.

Something seems to not work correctly and fix it would be not so cheap...got it 😉
But, talking about that kind of model (Constellation C shape, cal. 751): what would be (in your opinion) a range of good price (watch ok, no accessories)? 😀

Norm's 2013 sale of a nice grey C-shape cal 751 Connie can provide a starting point.

Great watch and condition 👍
So, the starting point could be about 1000 $ a year ago...so, how expensive could be the service for the grey one I posted? 😵‍💫
Techically, what could be the problem? I understood is something about the rotor, but nothing more...🙄
