    If you don't want to give out the auction number, you can right click on pictures from eBay and copy the web address here.

    Just click the button above with the mountain view (third from the right) and enter the web address in the pop-up box.

    Let's try it this way:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/141172725326?Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Watch looks to be nice and original with a clean looking movement. The case is US made and 18K gold, that's rather unusual. But all the hallmarks look correct. That's the good news.

    However in my opinion, that price is at least double the market value on this piece.

    Thank you. Would this model have a name? Is it in the Geneve line? Would you buy it?

    No model name, that's not unusual. Since the case was US made, we sometimes call these "National Production" watches.

    It is not a Geneve.

    No, not at that price. I already have a similar watch.

    Where do you find your watches? I'm frustrated because I just cannot find "the one". I read a lot on vintage-watches-collection.com but this is a British site and their models don't correlate to US. Began my search for an Omega Seamaster Deville but then came up gold filled versus 14 or 18K gold. Then constellations come up. I only intended to get one watch but there may be more in my future.

    Mostly on eBay, but I admit that it's become difficult to find good value there now. But good ones do turn up now and then.

    And I'll bet that you didn't marry the first woman you dated either. It takes time and experience. I waited 7 years to find the right pie-pan Constellation.

    But when this one came along, I jumped on it (well, not literally) with both feet.

    Got news for you. Some of their models don't correspond with any known Omegas in the UK or anywhere else. Most of the dials are fantasies. They were refinished with names of jewelers that may or may not have ever existed. Prices there are ridiculous in Sterling or in US dollars.

    Solid gold watches have been coming down a little bit due to the drop in gold prices. But the really nice condition Constellations have held up quite nicely in the market. Gold filled can be a problem, as the gold tends to wear through. Better to go for stainless steel if you can't afford the solid gold.

    Hope this helps,

    Stainless may be a way to go as well. Not being vain, but gold goes with my skin color better. It also appears you can get different looks with different bands if you want. Off forum, but vintage rolex seems good to but why double the price? I do active movement and am not in an office but a professional title. Could these vintage watches be used in everyday life? Thank you for all your input. I will learn the cut and paste method and may be asking for assessments of possible buys.
