Hello;

As some of you may or may not know, since I joined OF's I have been on the hunt for a pristine vintage Omega Constellation with original black dial...As you all know, this is no mean feat! Well, I think recently "angels" have been looking on me kindly as I managed to persuade CVivash to sell me his one (he had two anyway and was being a bit greedy.. It's a reference 168.005 with a Cal. 561 in 14k Pink Gold.

This watch has been rigorously checked by a few people, including Desmond, who, I can't thank enough for his constellation blog which has aided me In finding two or three nice pieces recently...and of course, it would be rude to not mention the forum!

Incidentally - It's a good read if you're interested:

Anyway, I'll cut to the chase and post some pictures once again, with the trusty iPhone! As you well know black dials are notorious to shoot, but I gave it my best shot! Hope you enjoy..?

I have managed to source a pink gold decagonal crown to finish it off.

 

Congratulations, i know how hard you've been working to hunt that down, and in brilliant condition....

 

Thanks mate, love yours too..

Alex, what a nice pair............congrats

 

Thanks for the love Heriato! How's your black dial Seamaster? Good daily beater?

 

Just come out from service..........not a beater..........I will use it when I feel like Don Draper

 

Good. I'm glad to hear! And it does have the nice large Seamaster logo..

 

Beautiful stuff man, thank you for sharing!

 

Thanks! managed to take a few pictures outside today...try and imagine it with a pink gold crown...The dial provides hours of gazing pleasure!

 

Glad I could help Alex.
