1. Are there any other series I should be looking at aside from the above?
Read this (
https://omegaforums.net/threads/learn-how-to-fish.52603/) post things you like the look of. Do allot of reading
2. Is there a difference in quality in the above names? From a cursory glance, it looks like Constellation is the most expensive and Geneve the more affordable. Is this reflecting quality or just more demand for the Constellation models?
Depends on the years, the Constellations are Chronometer so are more accurate, and are generally very nice watches, as well as the top of the line models. Geneves are nice though, especially some of the older ones
3. How old is too old?
No such thing
4. Are there any years that are associated w/ poor quality? I read somewhere that Omega was struggling in the 70s and 80s and their quality those years took a hit. Is that the case?
Not poor quality per se, but less interesting styles/movements (in many peoples opinions) in the 80s, the 70s had some really nice mechanical watches, with funky designs, which can still be had for cheap.
5. Does this seem like a legit watch? -
https://www.chrono24.co.uk/omega/co...matic-vintage-swiss-wristwatch--id6073765.htm A lot of watches from the buyer seem cheaper than others in the category, so I was wondering if they were fakes
No, its a redial. But if you like the case look out for C shape omega constellations, and read this

6. I'm intrigued by the concept of birth year watches - anything interesting come out in 1992 from Omega?
The most interesting is probably the Louis Brandt line were limited and very nice (but rather expensive). For other stuff have a look here
