·Hello everyone, I am a beginner with vintage Omega watches. I recently found an Omega Constellation Pie Pan and would like to ask for your opinions on it. I plan to buy it for personal wear, so I am not concerned about whether it will appreciate in value.
1.Regarding the dial, there does not appear to be any obvious sign of a redial. Although the pie-pan lines are not very clear, they can still be seen from certain angles. In fact, the characteristic pie-pan dial lines are quite obvious in some of the photos. I am not sure whether this is due to the lighting or the shooting angle.
2.There appear to be two fine cracks on the left side of the case.
3.The SWISS MADE text at the bottom of the dial has a T on each side, which should indicate that the hands originally had luminous material. In the photos, I can also see two black grooves on the hands, which I believe were meant to hold the lume.
4.The hands do not appear to extend too far beyond the dial.
5.The movement photos of this piece were rather dark, so I tried adjusting the shadows and brightness. It looks like it should be a Cal. 561 movement, and I can also see the chronometer certification and "adjusted to 5 positions" engravings on it. I have attached both the original and adjusted photos for your reference. There are some scratches on the movement, but overall it still looks quite good.
6.The case back is engraved with 168.004.
7.The Ω logo on the crown is visible, and the crown does not seem to protrude fully outward like some other versions. Instead, it looks more recessed into the case.
8.The bracelet also has the Ω logo, although I am not very familiar with this part.
Overall, it's not great, but it's still acceptable.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks.
