Hello,

I'm looking for my first vintage Constellation. I've not experience in that model so I'm asking for your help!

What do you think about this?

Thank you in advance

Terrible. Redial, wrong hands, miss-matched mid case and caseback, fake bracelet.

Keep in mind: black dials are dangerous!
By which Fallout Boy means that the VAST majority of vintage Constellations with black dials have been repainted and that ruins their collectible value. If you're set on a black dial, be prepared for a long search, be prepared to overpay, and make sure that you run any prospective purchases past the OF membership BEFORE you commit to a purchase.

Thank you again all guys.
I'm not a collector, I just want a daily watch for gives the turn to my other 2 watches (Moonwatch and Carrera).
Having a 6.5 inch wrist and being an Omega fan I was looking for my first vintage watch and I was looking for a Constellation, like the 168.005 or a Seamaster like 168.024 or 168.0061 .. or something like that.
Since they are not cheap I would like to find something correct. But as you just showed me it looks like is not that easy...
