·Not worth the price IMO, dial and hands have been damaged by moisture, movement is tired.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersI’m surprised no-one has said this before - could you post pics not links please.
Are you looking for a watch to match your original post or just any pie-pan?
So far you’ve posted two doglegs (one with date one without date) and a 2852.
this last one is so heavily polished that it is almost unrecognisable as a dogleg.
barely worth the $457 discount let alone the reduced $1828 asking price (a slight exaggeration - but you get the point)
We’ve all been excited about getting ‘that particular watch‘ but it might be useful if you were to slow down and decide which Constellation you actually want and research that style for condition before spending your hard earned cash.

absolutely will post pics moving forward. Apologies; you’re the first to suggest it and obviously would make things much easier.
since I was initially attempting to figure out what Watch was in pic, some of the variants were an attempt at that. Preferably one that matches original pic, and keeping it focused on that would be a big help for me as a newbie.

·Trying to determine what model this is; think it’s an omega but could be a Rolex. (Screengrab is from film song to song).
TIA for any help.
Those look like Titoni lugs..

if you would like to get into Constellations then there are a couple of resources that you need to look at.
first is Desmond's splendid blog:
http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com
second is the extensive OF thread with a lot of different Connie references: (there are quite a few in addition to the two case styles you have posted)
https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-constellations-show-and-tell.19186/
third, if you really want to look for a 2852, this is a good reference thread
https://omegaforums.net/threads/show-me-your-2852-connie.94709/
hope that helps

Terrific. Thanks man. I’ll go over the links and post (w/ pics) on the other side.

·Bumping this w/ a possible purchase. Would love some thoughts from the educated crowd here. Price point seems a little high and case looks a little overpolished? (Also redial?)
This isn’t exact match to posted watch but close enough, potentially. Not sure it’s worth the $$$ though.
TIA!

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersBe wary of listings that don’t have clear in-focus pictures - they’re like that for a reason.
Heavily polished case and with what looks like a classic fake (not repainted) dial.

I’m honestly just appreciative that from this site I can spot a polished case and at least that something was off about dial. Baby steps.
And I realize it’s also overpriced even without the issues you point out. Onward.
