Guys,

This Omega Constellation Calendar 2943 (there is a typo in the title) in 18k yellow gold is heavily stained in the center (picture not very good), in addition to the fact that it lacks the crown and case has many scratches.

What would be the market value of this watch with a new crown and strap, crystal buffed (or replaced) and case lightly polished?

Thanks for sharing your views

I wouldn't go near this one.

Even if the dial could be cleaned (no idea with that photo...), the case is pretty far gone. From that single photo, I'd say it is a parts watch.

I agree with ElPueblo. The pic is terrible, but from the distance looks like the dial is badly damaged and the case very worn. If you want a more precise opinion, give us a better (closer) focused picture, including the inside. Also, the crown is gone, which may (or may not) mean damage and water into the movement.

Based on the supplied photo, I'd have to agree with the previous responses, not a good candidate.
