Hei Every one,
I am brasilian and I starting geting in love with omega, special the vintage ones. But i had a very bad experience in the past and bought a fake one thinking it was real. So, i do not want to passed for it again. Please, can someone can help?! I found a vintage an Omega Constellation Day-Date from the year 60s.
He said the previously owner said it was 1967 or 1968 and have the original crown and class. I really like it. The price is 750 dolars. Can someone look on this picture and tell if it is reall omega and if worth buy, PLEASE?
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. And have a lovely day.
Ana 😀

Most would advise against this watch. It is overpriced, and the case back is missing the iconic Constellation insignia.

There are many vintage Constellations on the market - wait for a better example.

Bad example. Not worth buying.

The watch looks authentic to me, and it has a nice dial. However, the case and case-back are not in good condition.

I concur with what this fine gentleman has written

Welcome @Ana - Brasilian

Constellations are dress watches and this one is in poor condition.
The linen dial looks nice but the gold cap covering is polished round and there is a large ding in the case at 9 o’clock.
the gold medallion has been lost or removed.

If you like c- cases take a look the c-case thread to see how they should look.

Welcome to he OF @Ana - Brasilian . As others have said this one's case is in poor condition, and I'd advise passing on it.

Watch is original, seconds hand is a replacement, many awesome watches out there for $750

Is it a requirement to buy locally?

Unfortunately, if I recall correctly, Brazil (and some other S American countries) have outrageous import duties.

The best way to know is having a watch maker open the watch and verify by looking at the complications.

This watch only has a day/date complication. What would having a watchmaker examine that help with evaluating this watch?

If I had to guess, he is replying specifically to this

Still, not the best/most practical advice considering this forums collective knowledge can provide this information without having to first buy the watch.

Watch looks real, but based on condition, as others have said, I would pass.

He was saying the watch should get opened by a watchmaker and the complications should be looked at. The complications.
