In my "defence" I just want to say that in the ad pictures were not very clear..😀. In conclusion I wasn't lucky 😀 and as a conclusion for me.. I still have to learn. Thank you OF lesson was learned.
Wow!!!
I have been away from vintage Omega collecting for years now but shocking how things have changed. If that dial was presented alone, I would have never realized it was not the real deal… and I like to think I was good at spotting redials in my time.
I agree. The fake dial and case are very good at first glance. Most of the tells pointed out by experienced members are so small that it's only obvious when there's a direct comparison to the real thing (even then it's not so obvious). This thread has been a great learning experience.
If the fakers are reading this thread, they're probably taking notes to correct for the next version. I imagine that's how super clones of Rolexes are made. Hopefully Constellations won't go down that route but if there's enough money involved, they will come.
but i don't expect buyers from those places are paying top $$ for a 60 yr old connie. making parts to put a knock off watch out there is one thing, but going through the effort to make revision after revision in fonts and markers...
i understand for a "new" watch, "i have a new rollie seedweller"... but vintage 165.008?
i don't grasp the market
