Hallo, i'm new in this forum. In last few days i've seen hundreds of Omega Constellation and i love this one, but learning how to recognize genuine a genuine watch now i'm doubtful. What do you think of this one?

Genuine. From late 1960's.

You'll find that it's relatively small (34mm in diameter) and thin.

Similar to this one, but with a hobnail bezel:

Hope this helps,

Quite genuine, reference BA 111.0075.

Unfortunately the lugs are quite polished/worn.

Getting a high quality image is darn difficult. At the 8 O'clock hour marker it looks like there is paint on the side. This could also be wear from poor handling of the dial. If it's paint it has been redone.

These later watches did not have onyx markers, but painted ones.

It looks like the paint on this marker has worn down. Very common with these.

But it does knock the value down a little bit.

The seller is from Germany and the auction is completely written in german, also poor communication with the vendor. My doubt was about the star that i've always seen in relief and the crown that is quite rare for Constellation watches

If it is solid 18K gold, that is a reasonable price.

However, a little negotiation never hurt anyone. 😉
