Hello, my name is Dietmar from germany ,and I am new here. Sorry for my english it is not the best ! The last four years I found my new hobby : watch collecting Especially omega constellation from the 50s to the late 70s and I love the pie pan models in gold. This is what i bought the last 4 years in 18k connies : From left to the right : 1. A 2954 de luxe with the 504 movement 2. A 2699 de luxe with the 354 movement 3. A C shape with the 1021 movement Now I get an offer of these two pie pans from private : Sorry about the quality of the pictures ,no other available. What the owner knows is : the first has the 561 movement and comes from the early 60s And the second houses a 551 movement and comes although from the early 60s. Can you tell me something about the model type , vear and dial originality. If i had a model type I can search in the inet for the originality Is it worth to drive a few hours to check the backsides and movements ,or would the experts here say: It is not worth because of the dial case ...- Thanks Dietmar
Hi Dietmar & welcome to the forum! Really classy pieces you got there, congratulations! The 2 you´re considering both looks OK to me, could be well worth a couple of hour on the road to pick them up, after first have examined the condition in person (the pictures aren´t that good so you can determine anything with certainty), and of course depending on the priced asked for them. Good luck!
With watches like that, why not choose a screen name like 'Caaarnstellation' instead of 'Saarmaster'?
Hi, @ marturx : Thank you , I will post the result of the 2 connies. ulackfocus: Nice idea , Someone with more information about the case or dials ,ore what can I pay for each ,when they are original and ok and not overpolished ?
Hi, today I was a couple of hours on the road and I picked one of them up. The 14393. The other was too much polished although the backside ,no stars. And I cant find out if it is the right movement to the case. Here the pictures from the watch I picked up In real it looks better ,must learn to make better photos. I hope this is an original. the next days I will make pictures from the movement and the inner side. And the wristshot Thanks Dietmar
Thanks to all I cant describe it looks in the light of the day ,shiny dial,sharp edges,shiny numerals on the dial. I hope I can make a photo in the real quality next time. Im happy with this deal. Yes its a solid rose 18k Dietmar
