After several months of waiting the proper crown came in for my C-shape Constellation. And I can finally begin to enjoy wearing it as a fully serviced piece.

I want to thank everyone on the forum who helped me in my decision making (particularly @Peemacgee whose comment swayed me into pulling the trigger).

I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to watch photography but I hope you enjoy these shots regardless. It also features my first and only other Omega (For now at least)

Congrats! You rarely see them looking this clean- you got a real prize- and the bricks bracelet always makes these. 👍

The side by side shot is a nice picture of two beauties but as much as I like the original Bond Seamaster, that Constellation steals the show!

Beautiful! Congrats. I'd say you have 2 vintage Omegas though, as that Seamaster is 20 years old!

Both of these are excellent choices. The C shape connie with linen dial and brick bracelet is an under-valued classic.

Spectacular. Well done, Sir. That’s a grail for me, and it pleases me to read how happy you are with your Connie. Wear it in good health!

Haha, this one is from 2006, so it's still not in the category for me. But it's definitely staying with me till it becomes vintage!

I think you are confusing me with someone helpful, but I am glad that the OmegaForums helped you out 😁

What a beauty! I’ve looking for one since a while, never seen one in such a great condition, especially the bezel
