    Hello!

    I’m looking to purchase my first omega (a vintage one at that) - a 168.005 constellation pie pan but I am unsure of its authenticity. I am seeking for some advice in regards to my purchase. The seller has kindly sent me a few additional photos which I have attached here.

    It’s daunting purchasing a vintage watch but it’s very exciting too! 6B964E56-84F4-472D-83AC-F65CA6D73009.jpeg A0A39FAD-1315-42A2-BB4B-7675AA2EF3FB.jpeg CBD5E521-BEE6-46DB-9A44-BEB53FA77ADD.jpeg 60A82899-AF35-4396-A490-BE1AB18E4CF5.jpeg 7377D6E4-A79C-4B82-9CE7-4743052F06B9.jpeg Thank you very much for your time and know that I appreciate it!

    It's £1750 - Too much IMHO.
    Plus, the damage on the dial next to the 4 hour marker would be another reason not to buy it.

    Hard pass! That's not even a 700 pounds Watch.

    I agree - let this one go. You can do better from established dealers on ebay (i.e. with extensive stock and strong vendor results). And I would be looking for an earlier one with the gold observatory on the back....
