    Are you looking for a dress watch? I’m gonna guess that’s a quartz model, is that correct. You see a lot of those floating around and tbh many collectors don’t really care for that particular constellation model. TBH I always kinda like the looks of them. Do you know the seller? Do you have concerns about it’s authenticity at all. I really don’t know a lot about those. What are you concerns if any? It appears legit but I’d wait for someone who knows more about them to pipe in. Have you looked at other models is your heart set on this model constellation

    I have the same model Constellation, I bought it new in 2005. I can't look at mine at the moment because I am travelling, but I have a feeling mine has a gold medallion. Otherwise it looks pretty good to me. I think it's a fair price considering the condition looks good and it is a full set, or aren't the warranty cards with it? If there is no cards I would try and negotiate down a bit. A lot of people frown on quartz watches, but the accuracy is excellent and the service costs of modern Omegas are pretty high.
    Cheers
    Les

    Sitting all that time with a battery in it? ? I’d want that case back off to see the movement.

    Yes - clearly not running as all the hands are in the same spot in the photos that show them. If the battery was left in, it may have leaked, and caused damage to the movement.

    The redundancy of the roman numeral bezel is... interesting. Just in case you are not familiar with the marker representations?

    No I just really like it I was looking at a few tags but so many fakes with this being close to new with box etc it made my decision for me I just love the look of it
