I received the watch today. It looks great and the bracelet is already perfectly sized for my wrist. There is no scratch in the crystal.

Considering the overall condition of the watch, I would not be surprised if the case bevel was not refinished, but experts will be able to judge better than I can.

Wow, congrats! Fantastic condition with seemingly no polishing at all and great dial too. Wear it in good health (maybe after a service)!

Best, Rudi

razor sharp case, big congrats!

here is mine for comparison (original finish but some visible scratches I believe). The chamfers are beyond my capabilities to fotograph.

on another note, I see that you have a crystal with a date lense. Does it have the Omega symbol?

Thank you Rudi. I am really pleased with this one. It's my first C-shaped Constellation and it looks much nicer in real than in photos.

Thank you Dries. Yes, the crystal has an Omega symbol. You can see it quite clearly in the last image I posted in the center of the dial. I think yours has one as well. Thanks for sharing photos of your watch, which looks great too. It is the same version like the second C-shaped Constellation that I bought and that I am still waiting to receive. I noticed the different crown, but yours has the same type of crown as well, so most likely it is the original crown and not a later replacement.

Even nicer to have it with box and papers. Beautiful example. I wonder if the tritium version was an alternative or came in later years.

I can't get over how sharp those edges are. Great looking piece!

Would you mind sharing where you got it? Was it from Ebay?
