    It's a legitimate Omega.
    A very well worn and tired Omega.

    Well, i saw one ad on ebay that sold the same watch for over a thousand dollars. I'm hoping I can get at least five hundred dollars?

    I’m sorry to disappoint you but this Constellation is not a desirable reference, it is very badly worn and it has possibly had the dial repainted.
    Condition and desirability is everything with vintage watches.
    You will be lucky to get $100 for it and that would be for the movement if it’s working and if someone wants the movt from that reference of watch.
    Hope that helps.

    The value will be determined by the buyer.

    Can anyone else confirm if the dial is already repainted? I'm planning to refund the watch. ‍♂️

    The pics really aren't that good and it could be distortion by the crystal but I'm not liking the quality of the printing or the inconsistent minute ticks

    Hi guys,

    I have to ask, what is your take on this piece?
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/124113759343Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I have an offer from the seller to buy it outside of Ebay. Transaction would be done through PayPal GS.
    He is supposedly located in Peru.

    Thanks for the fast reply! Can you give me some insight on this and what I missed? I know the transaction outside of Ebay is already suspicious.
