    Hello, I wanted to share pics of my Constellation Pie Pan. Other than the bent tube and incorrect crown, what do you guys think? I bought this from the original owner.

    Looks like an honest watch but let's see the inside.

    And, Howdy, welcome to ΩF.:thumbsup:

    Finding another with provenance will be pretty tough

    I agree. I haven't seen many with the box and knowing exactly where it came from feels good. Do you know crown is correct so I can track one down?

    These crowns are hard to find. Your best bet is eBay, but there are a lot of knock offs there too.

    Here you go. The watch maker was very impressed. It needs a new crown and stem.

    Nice 564. That is the orginal gasket and that should be replaced as well.

    Yes, that is the original gasket. The watch maker looked it and it gave him a huge smile.

    I've been down that road, my 1680 was over $3k to restore.

    Nice and clean movement. Cal 564 is also a one of finest vintage Omega movement out there.
    Hope you will not have problem finding the crown and stem replacement.
    I couldn't help noticing the writing 'Swiss Made T' at the bottom 6 o'clock. Is it common for this year? I only know 'T swiss made T' or just plain 'swiss made' in my collection.

    Number of T's is indicative of the amount of Tritium used in the dial, including the hands.
