    Hi everyone!:)

    I would like to share another new incoming watch in my collection.
    It was a pink gold cap omega constellation reference 168.005 (maybe someone call rose gold case?).
    The serial number is 20,990,xxx with caliber 561.

    In my opinion, it comes with the original very clean dial plus with black onyx insert hour markers.
    The case is the pink gold cap case which is quite uncommon, however, white gold is the hardest to find.
    The crown is a correct thin decagonal type.
    The crown and medallion come with matching pink gold color.
    The case was some polished in the past but it’s still OK.

    Please note that the color of the hour-markers not the yellow color, even it’s difficult to capture.:thumbsup:
    Also, these hour-markers match with the hands and case.

    I compare the yellow gold (left-hand side, ref.167.005) and pink gold (right-hand side, ref.168.005).

    Hi @qazwsx1,

    first of all: congratulations! The dial looks really good and I love the warm pink-gold tone. Wear it in good health! :)

    Congrats,

    What do you think of the reversed star?

    On some dials I enjoy it, but it sometimes bothers me as well

    It is called wonky star, I think. It happens on a lot of dials and easy to fix.
