Also consider Seamasters of the same vintage, as they look similar, and Seamasters cost less.

I think it would be relevant to find out what type of constellation the OP is looking for.
Is it only a pie pan dogleg or any constellation?

OP - constellations are gold capped, which is different to gold plated.
If you were looking for a gold capped pie pan dogleg on a plated BOR bracelet, then, whilst not perfect, CHF750 seems very reasonable for this watch.
pic for reference.

Remember to add the 25% buyer’s fee. But even after that I would agree its not a bad price.

Still very reasonable

So, I am lookin ideally for a 38mm Seamaster or Constellation, I found this very informative thread:
Are there domed versions at 38mm? I really like this watch for example but it's probably too small for my wrist: 1077712-050ebe8d8d39908135fe90ed3d2e16e5.jpg

None of these Seamasters or Constellations from the era were 38mm. Some were 36-36.5mm. There are some earlier Omegas that were larger in size but didn’t have (at least dial-branded) model names.

So the Seamaster Sparkles or the 38mm Constellations are later than the 60's?

Thanks, the information contained in these is are very informative.
Someone mentioned a 38mm Sparkle, I am aware that the photos I posted are from 50s/60s models. So I am wondering if he was mistaken, or if these 'jumbo' Sparkle models were made later.
I heard only early Genevas had movements almost equal the flagships, but I will have a look at them anyway.

Ahem, if those are other people’s pictures, proper etiquette would recommend you credit them for using their pictures. 😉

I am sorry, yeah there were taken from the thread I referenced earlier or from elsewhere on the forum, I never claimed these to be my own pictures. I did not even know if these were their own pictures or about the proper forum etiquette, but I know realize they must have been if they do not reference any sources.

Hello @vintageuhr and welcome. I own the Seamaster you liked in the photos above (no worries about using my photo!). It’s a 35mm case as you suspected but doesn’t wear small, especially when worn with long sleeves. The thing you should know is that, despite being gorgeous, it is a restored dial and therefore not original. That explains why it looks so good for a 1956 Seamaster...!

it’s just something to be aware of as you educate yourself on these references.

Good luck in your hunt!
