    Hi all, wondering if I can pick your brain on this gold Constellation 168.045? Does it look OK to you? Is the "Om T" marking on the bottom of the dial correct? In other versions, the "T" is omitted. Did some come with tritium and some not? I am a big fan of this watch, but want to consult y'all before I pull the trigger. Thanks!

    I have the same model in steel, from about 1971. No lume, by design. Some had it and some didn't. Mine simply has "Swiss Made" at the bottom of the dial.

    The gold one you're looking at is stunning.

    Looks like a very clean and little worn example.

    Looks good to me. I have the steel version; they are an acquired taste, which I've happily acquired! As one of the very first integrated bracelet models, they have good historic provenance... and I'm sure the wrist presence in solid gold would be amazing.

    Thanks all! I have done a fair amount of research and was confident it was a good one, but have never owned this model - so your positive opinions matter. (Y'all have steered me away from buying some beat-up ones over the last year!) Once it is on the wrist I will share a photo. Cheers!
