I’ve just had my first child, and would like to buy a vintage rose gold Connie to mark the occasion. I found this piece which
Looks in good condition, have requested the serial number. In the meantime any comments to assist me in this purchase decision would be greatly appreciated.

Its a POS

Fake case

 

It is fake, don't even bother. Lugs look like they are from a cheap Chinese watch, and the caseback is a dead giveaway.


-Reported

 

This is the second fake rose gold connie to come up on chrono24 in a matter of days

Seems to be 2 different sellers

Here is a link to the first

Beware, and continue to ask questions first

But best if you do some homework yourslef in advance of pulling the triger

Look at old constellation threads on here, and read everything on omega constellation collectors blog

 

Thank you, what about this one?

Thank you Sherbie, how about this one?

Looks good to me

Dial text looks good for this era - I’d date this to 1961

I guess the price is OK

The only way to confirm it is rose gold is to get an extract from the archives btw.

I did this for my rose gold - you are looking for Omega to confirm its a BB case, and not an OT (yellow gold) case

 

Thanks so much Sherbie, it seems the extract from archives service is unavailable until sep 2019 as per the link below.

Welcome @Clint
You are likely to get more comments if you post pictures not links.
(They also act as a record of the watch discussed)
The second watch you posted looks correct but has soft lugs (I.e. polished)
This is very common for solid gold watches as the metal is relatively soft.
I agree with @Sherbie that it’s more likely ‘60/‘61 not ‘59
Pics for posterity

 

Thank you kindly. I have decided to move forward and acquire this piece. I agree it is 1960 and I’ve highlighted where I cross referenced it. The seller is reliable if I go by Desmond’s blog, and I am relying on the seller who acquired it for himself when he confirms it is pink gold as I desire.

I’m looking forward to joining the omega family and having my first timepiece to hand down through the generations
