Hey guys,

I own three Omegas which I bought recently all together for one, as I think and hope, good price. So I can't really tell, which was the cost of each of one. Now that I saw some beautiful black dial constellations here, I would like to have a black dial constellation, so I am thinking about selling one of the three, so I would like to have your opinion on:

1. What would be your price tag for each of my watches?
2. . Which one would you keep?

Don't worry, I don't want to sell anything here. I would sell them locally in Germany, if I can let one go 😀

So I am very curious about your estimation and ranking! Thank you, I love the exchange here👍

1. EUR 550-750;
2. EUR 800-950;
3. EUR 800-1100

Need better pictures and info for valuation. Normally you would want to keep the pie pan. But I'm more of a stainless steel person. I would sell them all and buy one fantastic 2852 connie.

Thank you a lot, do you have a picture of your suggestion? I couldn't find any yet...

Finding a nice original black dialed Constellation can be quite a task. Availability and condition being the two factors which can hold you back. The majority found on Ebay for instance are redialed and most collectors if they have a good black one will hold onto it after having probably spent years finding it in the first place.

I think @Shabbaz's valuations are good based on that one picture so if you sold all three of yours you might well be able to score a black one. The key is to know what you are looking for, being able to identify the redials from the originals and striking fast when a good specimen pops up.

Can I see the pic of black constellation?
I was thinking of this one, but the experts here say it's a terrible redial, so I am glad to be here and save some money and don't buy crap😀

Yes. I agree with redial.

My black railtrack:

Thank you for posting this beauty! But what does railtrack mean? And to be honest, I can't see much difference between yours and the one I posted except for the patina and the markers... 👎
