·Hi, completely new to vintage watches, and this forum, so I'm hoping to get some guidance 😀
I've stumbled over this Constellation on a local second-hand site. The seller doesn't appear to be an enthusiast, and so lists what he knows about the watch, and makes it clear that that's all. Here's a transcription;
He's asking around €1200 for it (Could probably get it for a little less with some haggling).
Again, I'm a complete newbie, so I'm hoping you can give me some pointers in what may be wrong, if anything. From what I can tell, the crown isn't original (should be 10-sided?), and the hands may be wrong, or there's missing lume on the dial (as far as I can tell from the limited pictures).
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated 😀

14393 61 SC, case size 34x11x43 mm.
Omega 24 jewels cal. 561 automatic.
The photo of the movement is from when I bought it in 2011. It was newly serviced when I bought it. I haven't gotten it serviced, only checked a couple of years ago, where I was informed that it didn't need service anytime soon.
