    Hi all just received this Constellation 1969 168.029 and thought Id post a pick It came with the original brick bracelet but I think I like it better with leather. The bracelet seemed a little blingy. I do have one question though when I took off the bracelet I had a little trouble getting the spring bars off there seemed to be no room left on them to push in so I took my loop and found that the spring bars had a little tab that you push in to release the spring bar. Is this a normal type spring bar for this watch Ive never seen one before?

    Yep, there are different types of spring bar, some have the 'tab' and others don't. Nice 'silky guilloche' dial, as Omega used to call it.

    Cheers

    I dunno about not much love for C cases. They're the perfect size for the "NOT" modern loving hordes here.

    :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    For you acquisition.

    Nice dial. I love the C-case, and now have two, and I like mine with leather as well. Very classy watch in IMHO. Congratulations!
