Epictetus
·Greetings fellow citizens,
First of all, thanks for accepting my membership request. I have been a lurker on this forum for almost a year now and I’m glad to have finally joined the community. As my interest in Omega Constellation grows, I hope that i will be able to contribute to the discussions and the knowledge base (a tall order considering the wealth of knowledge that some senior members seem to possess)
I am Epictetus, a Roman citizen and a former slave who went on to become a renowned stoic philosopher 😉 It is a pleasure to meet you all!

At 31, just recently moved to a new country, got promoted and felt I wanted to crown this part of my life with a watch that will stay with me until my time. I always thought that watch would be a Rolex, but since i stumbled upon Desmond’s blog and Omega Forums, I have become a constallation convert.
Now an opportunity presented itself and i was offered a constellation Ref. 14381/2 which appears to my untrained eye to be in an impeccable condition. I referred to OF articles about what to look for when buying vintage Omegas and to me this watch seems to tick all boxes. Hands look correct, constellation writing seems identical to models i found on Desmond’s blog, lugs seem correct. I also remember reading a lengthy thread on OF about whether the scalloped crown was authentic to Constellations at some point and the verdict was that it was, being featured in ads and all, so the crown too checks out.
2500€ is not a sum of money that would lead me to financial ruins, but i have worked really hard for my money (especially having been raised a slave) and i’d feel gutted if i were scammed.
So, i would esteem it a great personal favour, if you could have a look at this watch and give me your, much appreciated, verdict.

Note, i managed to box the price down to 2500€. Watch comes with original box and original strap and buckle, supposedly.
Looking forward to hearing your responses.
P.S. I reached out to Desmond before my OF account was approved and his feedback was very favourable indeed. In order not to skew your opinion i will withhold what he said until we have gotten more feedback from the more senior members around here.
