    Hi All,
    I'm considering the purchase of a Constellation 168.019 from 1968 and have gone through countless logo comparisons to see if this one is legit. I'm stumped mainly because I've found a number of logos that match but other Constellations of the same year, different model, that vary slightly in the M, E, and G.

    I'd greatly appreciate any advice from the experts here. The first photo is of the watch I'm looking at. The others are from the same model, not necessarily the same year.

    Thank you.

    Yeah, sorry. I had a hard time, blew these up and did a screen shot. Thanks for weighing in.

    Have you had a good read of the C case Constellation thread on this forum? Lots and lots of photos of various models for you to compare.

    You're overthinking it IMO. If you want opinions about whether the watch is legit, post good photos of the whole watch.

    All of those look fine to me. At that level of magnification, the blur starts to distort the details so much that they may seem like differences. The linen dial ones are not so often redialed, as it's harder to cleanly.
    In my opinion, the c-cased Connies aren't under so much general attention that would attract pro fakers. They aren't that expensive after all and good examples are around.
    This is the thread for further references for your research: https://omegaforums.net/threads/the-c-cased-constellation-thread.72308/

    Fair point. Perhaps I am overthinking it. Thanks everyone for your comments. Been out of vintage Omega for several years. I searched the reference # on here, but the post on C-cased Connies couldn't be any clearer.
