Hi OF!
They offer me this Omega. Unfortunately I only have this bad picture. 33 mm. I'm guessing cal 561. The logo and lettering as well as the insignia on the back cover are gold. I just can't find anything like this and want to ask what the reference is

I wouldn't spend real money based on that photo.

Case doesn’t look like any Constellation I’m familiar with. The dial looks to be from a “C” case.

Run away,

Thank you again Dan S! I saw it live. The watch is in excellent shape, white and clean dial. I just couldn't find a similar one and was wondering which reference it is? I haven't seen the mechanism and I'm wondering if it's a 561?

Thank you! I didn't find a similar case shape either, but what's interesting about this case is that the back cover has the gold Constellation medallion

Probably someone used the movement, dial, and case back from a constellation with the mid case of a Seamaster (or something similar I'm unfamiliar with). Perhaps an attempt to rescue a watch after damaging the case/lugs.

Looks like it is a true Franken ! The point is whether the seller can detail the different parts of the watch or not ; if so, it could be interesting for parts if the price reflects it.

Thank you all!
Someone made a great "meatball" huh
the seller is close to me and he doesn't suspect anything...
