Omega Constellation 168.004 14K Gold

Is it just me or does the spacing between the applied Omega dial logo and the word automatic look cockeyed, and do some of the minute tick marks look inconsistent?

Hi @TrampyEm
A Constellation is a great choice for a first vintage Omega.
14K Connies don’t seem to be as common as 18k but they do come up frequently.
$1,900 would be competitive if the watch was in good condition but unfortunately in this case it’s not in good condition and is way too expensive.
(Round cased Connies aren’t as desirable as say doglegs and 14k not as valuable as 18k, so a really nice 14k .004 should probably be in the region of $2,500.)

Your comment about character is understandable and it’s great that you are happy to buy a watch that looks like it’s had a life but due to the polishing this watch has actually lost its character and - each to their own - but the hole in the dial is like looking at someone with a black eye rather than graceful age-lines.

The pics aren’t great but the indices seem to missing some of the lume and the crown is a replacement.

At $1,000 this might be an interesting ‘talking point’ watch, at $1,900 it would a definite no-go for me.

Hope that helps.
