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!

Thank you very much for your time and know that I appreciate it!

Dial has issues at 4, case is polished, this is no watch worth 1750 Pounds 🙁

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.

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....
