to be fair, the description does say
"Here we have, what I believe is a nice old genuine gents mens omega constellation automatic wristwatch..."

 

A rare 2887 (?)

 

Polished or not, it's still a 2887

 

That case back is the same as on the 2652 too. That dial has also been seen on the 2652.

Anybody here wants to find out?

 

There's this one recently sold for cheap...

 

There are many 2652s with the applied OMEGA: https://omegaforums.net/threads/what-do-you-think-of-this-354-constellation.24539/#post-271360

 

But that one is a 2887. You wanna bet?

 

I didn't say it couldn't be a 2887, just the chance is 50/50.

If you do not have more info than publicly available, sure.

 

but why would anybody purposely polish out the minor stars -and the 'head' of the observatory to boot?
-and for my benefit -what makes this a 2887?

 

There seems no sign of polishing on that caseback. Those small stars just have been worn out, because they were... small.

 

It's a bumper, if anybody still wondering.

 

If you shakes a 505 too hard it becomes a bumper

 

It's possible, and it'd make a rare working 505 bumper.
