Hello to all the forum,
Does this Omega constellation 564 seem OK to you? I got an offer for t at 450 euros and I am thinking of buying it. Should I do it? The seller says there is still protective paint on the back case, but I am not sure about the dial, or do you think I might be wrong? The dial seems ok to you? The back case? Have you ever seen this "waterproof 168015 tool 105 on a constellation?

I have also never seen this kind of bracelet. Is the bracelet ok?

Hi,
Definitely a redial regarding the font... the crown looks like it is not the original to me... any picture of the mouvement and inner caseback?

Are you sure ? I am having a hard time confirming that this dial is repainted because of the golden color... I know the bracelet is not the original for sure. The clasp may be original but the metal strap I am sure it’s not omega.

Usually you find these thin stick hands and markers on the C cased Connies. Going through google images I can’t find anything similar for the 168.015. That’s not to say it’s incorrect!
It’s difficult to tell if the dial is original or not; you are going to need clearer pics.
As for the case back engraving that looks correct.

The pictures are too poor to be certain and it could just be crystal distortion - but I'm not liking the font either.
Plus the proximity of the star to 'Constellation' is a big red flag to me.
(I also think the super-slim jet-line indices and stick hands are unusual on this reference - but never say never with Omega)

@Peemacgee , @Noddyman I think you are right. The hands do not seem right. I think they should look like this:

I don’t think the OP watch is a redial. However, I don’t think it originally came with that case.

Looks like a dial and hands from a contemporary “C” case Constellation.

I’m surprised that the dial would fit in the 168.015 case, but anything is possible with vintage Omega.

Hope this helps,
