Hope that anyone can tell me if this 368.00845 Constellation is actually a good deal. Got a nice offer, just the dial makes me unsure. cause Swiss made is written inside the dial not under the outer line of the dial. Maybe anyone can tell if it is right. https://www.chrono24.de/omega/vintage-costellation-chronometer-cal-751--id5619132.htm
actually no, all the pics I found show dial with swiss made written on the outer ring of the dial. Hoped that anyone here has any idea or a comparison.
Watch is a bad redial and price is absurd. I bought one for less than 1/4th the price. Had an issue with the crown and stem, which was fixed. "Swiss Made" is way down at the bottom. Run away. gatorcpa
It looks beautiful and still like new. A treat to see such a good example. These are now around 1800 in Euros. Seems like prices good higher, same reason why this dealer tried to rob me with the badly repainted one.
You should look for a nice one on eBay. Make sure it has the original brushed surfaces like the one above or my example. Should be able to get one for under $750, maybe even $500 if you are patient. This one is not the greatest, and the bracelet is going to need a good cleaning, but it's in the range. https://mall.elady.com/bf307259.html €1,800 is ridiculous. gatorcpa
This one is interesting. The bezel is slightly worn out, but the bracelet is not integrated on this model and can be use on other watches, as well as a leather band can be used on this watch.
Huh, I didn't even realize that these were two different watches, but you are correct. https://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-details/15311/ https://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-details/15342/ My guess is that the bracelet was added later, but still correct for the model. gatorcpa
found like this one wich is also not that bad and has the integrated bracelet http://www.ebay.de/itm/Omega-Conste...272422?hash=item41ca4325a6:g:LGkAAOSwrfVZWngrPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
what do aou think, would be easier for me cause it is in germany. Comes with omega certified service, so it should be a safer bet on origanality.
I don't think that one is too bad, but I would like to have better photos of it. The dial looks a bit weathered, probably moisture ingress.
The pictures are totally out of focus. Ask for better pictures. The crown on the watch is incorrect for this model, but it is a genuine Omega crown. Price is reasonable, but make a offer and try to save a few euros to pay for a proper crown. No way to know if service was adequate. Good luck! gatorcpa
So sadly the other one is gone, tried to get more pictures but the Seller was pretty numb. So without any more informations I didn't´t do it. Now I search a little more and found this Example of an 368.059. https://www.chrono24.de/omega/const...teel-watch-ref-168059-cal-1011--id6410990.htm What´s your opinion on this model and specially this watch as an alternative ? @gatorcpa
Totally different watch. It has a newer cal. 1011 movement, which is good, but not nearly as robust (IMHO) as the cal 55X/56X/75X series. I'd stick with the original plan. That example is overpriced also, as are most of the watches I see on Chrono24. gatorcpa
