The 168.001 Jumbo Omega Constellation. There's a guy called Omega Enthusiast on You Tube and he just posted a video on it. Absolutely stunning.

Funny. I was wearing one today with the BOR. Made a picture in the garden.
May I ask is the BOR OMEGAs? endlink 19mm with any number stampe?
This is what i can see
so the endlink 19mm are unstamped? I also found a pair of endlink 19mm that fits perfectly with the jumbo and Omega BOR but they are just generic, not Omega originial.
The Omega Enthusiast videos are a good source of information. The site sells authentic, unrefinished high quality examples but at very high prices relative to the market.
Have you seen worse examples actually go for similar prices or offered for similar prices on eBay? If it’s the former a link would interesting really.
We’ve discussed two rather outstanding examples of a 2887 that was sold for charity and a very uncommon railtrack one on a flatlink recently, as they both went for pretty hefty amounts. My impression is that, while prices might have slowly and steadily increased for quite a while and especially good examples with structured or black dials achieve significantly more than they used to, regular gold-capped or SS ones still sell for less than half of what the OE is asking (Yes, he services them etc, but it’s far, far off “market value”).
I’m not saying those examples are easy to find though. 😀
