Omega Constellation Pie Pan Certified Chronometer 14K & SS Vintage 1962 Mens Watch....34mm

It’s on chrono24. Hands look wrong and crown is explicitly incorrect. However dial and case is my focus - is it a good one? Am thinking about it

Morning,
So, first caveat, I'm no expert, however I have recently purchased two Constellations, one gold capped and one pie pan so have a rough idea.
The photo is not great, but here goes.
Case is gold capped with stainless case and it looks OK to me, looks like it's seen a polish but not to severe.
The dial, well now that looks like a redial, the 'OMEGA' looks bent, the 12 looks misaligned but what looks most likely off are the 12 sides of the pie pan, these are usually much sharper but in the watch you post they are rounded off, a big tell tale I think. Pic of mine below for comparison.
The hands could be correct but there's no Lume on the indicies, which could be down to the redial.
As you say the crown is incorrect.
I'm sure others more knowledgeable than I will chime in, it may be a reference I am unfamiliar with.
Personally I'd avoid it.
BJ

No worries, I went into C24 for a look, read the sellers blurb and it is very convincing, he certainly is adamant that it is the original dial, but it just looks a little off to me. Hopefully someone else will provide a second opinion😀

Definitely a redial. He might be adamant, but he isn’t Prince Charming or Goody two shoes.

LOL, love a bit of Ant music😀
I have always been very naive in that respect, I know it happens but I just can imagine someone being that dishonest, or if they are genuinely mistaken then not having the integrity to make sure what they are saying is correct.🤔

I now remember Ispotted the 12 issue last time I looked at this one but overlooked it this time! Am losing it from staring at too much watch porn

And the star is too big. I checked against each of the Constellations I have and none were that large.
