Hi All, Considering this Constellation. And then I realise again that, when it comes to really buying, my knowledge is not up to scratch.... My observations - dial seems original, be it somewhat with yellow-ish patina - lettering looks OK to me: thin crosshair, original rest - thought the star was a bit wonky: might also be the pic - hands and crown not original (hands too long, crown later replacement) - cristal doesn’t look original to my eye (too 'high') - case very acceptable: lugs lightly polished, bezel nice and sharp - cal looks nice and clean (needs a service of course). Seller states 17Mio (approx 1960’s) - not sure if the medallion on the back is supposed to be yellow-gold if the dial-furniture is not Asking price (auction) is already at EUR 850, which might just be a bit too steep already..... Thanks a lot for your input! Cheers W
Dude !!!! What are you thinking??? Go to our FS listing and buy Kyle's amazing Connie https://omegaforums.net/threads/1950s-omega-constellation-2782-cal-354.41625/ Just one option ...
Dude! Actually, that was very much what I was thinking, be it, that a very good friend (which is true), asked me to assess some of his finds. He actually thinks Kyle's is too yellow (which I understand and but partly agree on) for his taste. Dunno why I get myself in such a mess, but hey, I am (sometimes) a nice guy... Next to that: I really have come to the conclusion there is so much more to learn. Thanks for the option..
