    Thought it was a redial, but no, it's totally legit. Just looks a little too much like this one:

    The Bulova is actually solid 14K white gold. While the asking price is quite high, you could probably add a zero to that figure if it was a white gold Omega Constellation with original box and papers.

    Very interesting!

    Evan, you s::censored::!!!!! I'm gonna be staring at that all night deciding whether or not to make an offer because I have a soft spot for Bulova.

    32 mm :thumbsdown:

    Otherwise I would have relieved Dennis of his worry. ;)

    If that were an omega it would be a candidate for inclusion in the worst redial thread.

    But it isn't and it's oh so tempting...;)

    Date code is either L3 or L8, 1953 or 1958 -- right at the same time as the Constellation it is copying.

    A 32mm, relatively thick, automatic like that might be awkward. So I'm probably going to back off for now.

    Certainly interesting to see, agree with Evan...32mm case that is a bit thick = ackward.
