    hi there,

    Firstly, thanks in advance for anyone’s input.

    I’m in the UK, looking to buy this from the USA.

    My knowledge on vintage watches is limited, so hoping not to get duped.

    Can anyone verify if this is an omega model that actually exists?

    They want $1,200 too.

    Cheers!

    Photos are lousy but it looks to be a 168.010 that has had the dial refinished. @Peemacgee can likely confirm the reference, though.

    Black dial?

    Cross Hairs?

    Shitty photographs?

    Well, it certainly does look like a 168.010 with a decent looking case and a (stretched) BOR with correct sized 19mm end links

    However, the photos are so bad, I can't tell if it has a black or grey dial but from what I can see, I agree it looks like a redial.
    I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't been relumed as well, as the indices (really) don't match the hands (and I can't see any Ts beside Swiss Made)

    @7t8 - are you aware that you will pay around an additional 25% in VAT (on cost of the item plus postage) when importing a watch from the States

    hope that helps

    Heavy cross-hairs, matte black dial with white printing say, redial.

    Even from those bad photos, I can see it's a redial from the wrong "n"s in Constellation.
