    "One owner (1961) OMEGA CONSTELLATION , Original dial and Dauphine hands. This vintage OMEGA had been stored in a drawer for MANY years by the son of the owner. The 34mm. grasshopper lug OMEGA case has NEVER been polished The fine chronometer grade OMEGA caliber 551 movement was just meticulously cleaned and is accurate. The hesalite (expensive) correct OMEGA crystal is scratch-less. "

    For something so "pristine" the movement sure has a lot of different colors going on. Can you count the shades? :oops:

    Hard to tell from photos, but star under constellation looks flat on top surface without bevels.

    Assume sellers words and not OP; but ANNOYING use OF capitals MID sentence.

    Unless some legitimate reason (some search function?) this has a big NEGATIVE effect and puts me right off any advertisement. Maybe just me though!

    It's a dog, but not the type you want to keep. Can you return it?
