Just thought I post this as it seemed a good price. And no its not my watch or anyone I know.

Hi Geordie
any chance of 'clipping' a pic for those of us who eschew Facebook?

 

Here's one.

Tom

 

Thanks Tom
that's really really nice
one of the quirkier crossed-T Connies -after close comparison with the same on Desmond's site the fonts look absolutely legit.
-not at all sure about that crown though!

at the risk of pushing my luck with your assistance -is there just one pic and how much is it going for ?
(yes I know -I should probably give up on my principles and sign up)

 

There are more pics. He wants 2200 euro.

Tom

 

Thanks once again

 

That's a local dealer, he offered me this one, last week lol!

 

having 'bailed out' on an 18ct Connie at the weekend I was quite excited about the possibility of this watch
especially when Geordie kindly supplied a pic

I was sooooo excited that I even joined Facebook to see more pics -after many many (many) years of swearing I would never do so.

as a crossed-T waffle-dial Connie -it would be a nice bonus to add to the 18ct gold case

The quirky 'Constellation' looks good -so I began scouring the dial -as best I can with the pics supplied -for any signs of 'messing'

The dial is worn -so could account for some inconsistencies -but something started to bother me
cross hair doesn't go through star -but this isn't always conclusive of a redial
cross hair doesn't go through the pointed arch of the 'M' -so I looked for any others that might be like that

As I searched I found one example of the cross hair missing the M - this past post from OF -May '14 - with better pics

14ct 2652
same watch -different crown!

comments:
can't find another example of an Omega with 'flat A' for Omega
dots on 4,5, 8, just slightly off
some inconsistencies on the minute markers

looks to me as though it was 'done up' before it hit the OF for sales section last year

comments welcomed

Thanks for the comment MSN
I agree that it doesn't do to advertise a 14ct watch as 18ct -that's for sure!
-and I haven't shown it but the stars on the medallion are a little worn too

I'm still learning -but I don't think that all of the font is original?
In 'Omega' -the peculiar G, the flat A
and the 'Chronometre' letters are off too -esp the M -neither upright nor properly splayed
the line misses the star -and the point of the M -one might be forgiven but both?
the dots don't line up with the 5 min markers and some are closer to the markers than others -Omega just doesn't do that.

-all just a little off?

 

Thanks @MSNWatch -I'm here to learn!
