    Hi all. I'm pretty new here and looking to buy my first vintage Omega.
    Here are a few I'm watching. All the dials should be original according to the seller. But I have no experience, so just want to looking for some help.
    First one: solid 14k, ref 2624, cal 283 ~$1200
    Second one: solid 14k, ref 2652sc, cal 354 ~$1800
    Last one: solid 18k, cal 284 ~$1400
    Thanks you all for watching.

    Don't buy any of them because they are redial and overpriced.

    Is that Connie a redial?

    That Connie comes with the original 14k buckle. $1800 is still high? Also The seller did swear the dial is original :))

    Yes, it is a redial. A 2652 powered by 354 should have a chronometRE movement. Not ER.

    One more thing: hands don't match with markers and too short.

    I thought that might be where you were heading :thumbsup:
    It's a pretty good 'font job' though

    IF that dial is original, I would say it came from a later model with sharp edge logo, applied OMEGA and stick hour markers.( with no dial feet, I guess)

    I am not sure 3 is a redial - a better picture may tell. The logo does not look too good, but the Swiss made seems correct. Maybe the dial looks too new. Hard to be sure with this pic.

    1 is kind of odd: fonts do not seem bad (but the pic is not good enought to tell), but the printed minute marks seem off.

    Concerning y the Constellation, I thought at first glance that it looks rather good, but I do not know much about Connies, and clearly Hoipolloi does!

    Anyway, too expansive as said above.
