Hi guys,
I m interested to this watch.

Omega Constellation Calendar
Ref 14393 2 sc
Cal 561

In my opinion:
Original dial and case
Correct caliber for the reference
Important Scratch on back case
Dial in poor condition, but original and particular (I don’t know how it is called)
No date windows

I’d like to know if u could see some other issue and an estimate value.
Thanks a lot for your support

Honestly I would hold off for a better example.

The dial is likely original as you say, but those spots (whether mould or otherwise) are pretty unattractive. The date window is missing its border as well. The case is quite soft from polishing.

Each to their own but in my experience buying examples like this only leads to regret a few months down the line and then you try and sell it to fund the next purchase.

The value in its current state would be around £500 I would think.

It looks like one of the screws in the movement has either been snapped or is very dirty. Alarm bells for that too!

Aren’t those more than enough issues already?

thanks for your feedback, I know that there are important issue, but I d like to have your opinion to be sure there are not other. I love this reference and it could be into a deal exchange with another watch (caliber 30 from 1939 with bicolour dial) like 550€ value.

On top of all the other issues it also has the wrong crown and wrong seconds hand. Big pass from me.

I see the seller is looking for 1300 euros. 👎
