Omega 14393/94 Constellation want to purchase

That movement wouldn’t stop me buying it. It might need a few parts at service but it isn’t a deal breaker.

I’m also in the camp that thinks the dial is original. Overall I like it. It’s no concourse winner but if the price is right I’d have bought it already as it should make a good daily

Couldn’t visible corrosion on the surface of the movement possibly be an indication of worse below the surface? I have seen pictures of Omega movements from the 1930’s that don’t look like this. Also, would Omega be able to replace parts at a service, considering the age of the watch. I’m thankful for you comment, as it helps make a stronger case for the validity of the dial, but before I drop 3k for this watch, I would like to be assured that it will last a few more years. One of the reasons I want it is that it’s my birth year. I know that’s silly, but I’ve always wanted one.

Yes it could be a sign of worse below the surface but I don’t think it’s so bad that it couldn’t be sorted at service. Parts are available from various sources for this family of movement.
However, now you posted the price, although I like the dial and the watch overall as a daily, I don’t like it at 3k of any currency.

Yeah, not a 3k watch indeed. You can buy a full spare movement on eBay with not too much patience for 250-300€/$, so I wouldn’t worry about that part too much.
