Hi, I've been looking around for a Constellation Pie-pan and found this on ebay. Would really appreciate some views on it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-1966-...986138470?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item20d36dbf66Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Thanks!
The case and movement is in average condition, however the dial is refinished. It doesn't pass MOY test (google in desmond article), the cross hair is too thick. That's why collector community stay away from this piece. If it is not redial, it should pass $800 easily.
Hi Y, this is the link to Desmond's blog about the MOY test to help you. Desmond's blog is a treasure trove for Connie collectors, well worth exploring!
Yep you betcha, I own one (case only) that I bought just for reference purposes. Here is Desmond's PDF. http://users.tpg.com.au/mondodec//Counterfeit_Omega_Constellation_Cases.pdf
sorry guys, came across another potential on my eternal search for the perfect vintage connie and would really love to hear what you guys have to say about it. how about this? http://www.echoloft.com/cgi-bin/buysell2/YaBB.pl?board=Misc&action=display&num=1359680620
It is a redial.... and the fact that the seller obscuring the script in upper and lower part made me suspicious too. I'll pass. There is possibility it is a fake case, but I am not expert enough to tell about that.
wow ok thanks for that will give it a pass then. this search is harder and less fruitful than i imagined!
Just be patient. I experienced same thing like you. Last December I almost buy a fake gold pie pan. All members in here helped me to avoid it.
Yea you just have to keep your money in your pocket until the right watch comes along, when you buy a quality piece for the right money you never regret it. Just have to be patient Keep an eye on the ebay recommended sticky thread, something interesting might come up.
I am slightly faster and luckier. After 2 months. I saw somebody showed his recent buy pie pan to this forum and got many compliments. I PM'd him as to whether he would consider flipping it, and he was. Few negotiations and a happy ending for both.
that really IS lucky. i hope i chance upon something like that soon! thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it
Patience is important. I waited about 4 months too before I bought my first pie-pan from a fellow forumer. It'll come, don't worry.
