·Ask, how long the band is. If it fits you, start at 730 and stop at 820. Good luck ! Kind regards. Achim

·I’d pass on this. The case is soft, the dial looks poor (on a sports watch I can take a bit of patina. On a dress watch I want a nice clean dial) and as above there are some mismatched colours in the movement suggesting this may have had a hard life and water ingress.

·Here’s an example of a dome dial I sold, with original crown, box and bracelet last year (wish I’d let it!).
Bear in mind watches tend to be slightly more expensive in the U.K.

·+1 for water damgage, look at those screw heads:
As pointed out before the dial looks quite patinated even in this bad lighting

·Well all that being said I like it.
I’ll post the “horrific” real life pics when I get it 😀
Obviously the dial is rough but I don’t see a soft case to be honest.
Anyways thanks again everyone

·Don't get yourself in that spot where you think the watch is tired. It's an oldie and not all of them lived their lives in a drawer or in arid climates. The majority of vintage stuff will look like yours does. Myself and many others enjoy a dial with natural aged patina and your case is showing it's age and history appropriately. Get her serviced and lubed and wear it. Big plus is the bracelet too 👍

··Sunburst dial fanI think the dial and case look fine for a watch of this age and a decent watch repairer can sort out the movement, seals and running issues (if there are any). It is, after all, a classic Omega.
I look forward to seeing the actual photos once you get it - both before and after service.

·I don't agree. Maybe to sell on later, but not appropriate to this watch, and a bracelet on a dog-leg Constellation always looks wrong to me.
