Well, I’ll play too. Here’s my 2652 Constellation black hobnail. To my knowledge, there are only three of these models known.

Congrats - is it the Navajo one? I think the band was very authentic too, if you have the original photos, could increase the value in the future

Bet there were some nerves jangling while that deal was being finalised! 😳
Imagine some newcomer posting that one here and asking for an autheticity (sic 😉) check.
🤯🤫

Huge congratulations.
Glad it ended up in the right hands. It looks truly stunning in your photo.
They both do.

It's always a bit special to land a hobnail dialled Omega and especially so a Constellation, so I thought I'd make a short post about my new arrival.

It's a 2782 with calibre 354 with a very nice black dial. The new one is on the right together with its twin which I bought and had restored in 2015. Back then mine was the only known example but 2 or 3 more have surfaced in the intervening years. This one came from a seller in Canada, my first one was a local pick in NL.

Stunning pair! Congratulations

The bracelet is made of two silver and turquoise curved armulets combined with a Spiedel stretch bracelet and most likely the silverware was created by American Navajo Artisan Gibson Gene in the period 1970-1990. If anyone is interested in that drop me a PM as although I appreciate the level of craftsmanship it's not really my thing

Too bad: it would perfectly fit with your moustache
