Hi everyone, I'm completely new to vintage Omega and just got this 1954 Constellation Honeycomb Bumper (Ref. 2782-3 SC, Cal. 354) - it looks incredibly beautiful and clean to me, but could the experts here please check the dial and movement photos to see if everything is factory-original and correct?
And has a very nice gold emblem on the back.

Good news: the dial is in very nice condition, but the hands are not correct, they are too long

Movement looks original IMO but not very clean...

The price on the website is including premium?

Thank you so much for the detailed insight, Passover! I really appreciate your help. I noticed the hands looked very sharp, so it's interesting to learn they might be service replacements from the past. Glad to hear the dial is good! As for the website price from the catalog, yes, that result includes the buyer's premium. Thanks again for checking it out for me!

O Olimpia

see if everything is factory-original and correct?

Greetings
The dial looks original however hands are incorrect and it is a Constellation movement in a. seamaster case. It is not factory original nor correct it is a put- together franken watch and you would have grounds to return it as such.

I would agree.
Whilst the listing does state the watch reference, the description clearly states a Constellation watch, which it is not.

At a cost of over €4,000, for a franken watch, I’d be opening a claim with the auction house for misrepresentation.

That’s far too expensive for this frankenwatch.

Even the rarer the original black waffle-dial version sold on the forum for only around US$3,000.
