Hello everyone!

I've found this late 60s (I guess) Omega Constellation for sale priced at EUR.520. Seller says that was serviced by an old local watchmaker (which is usually worse than no service in my experience). No information regarding movement or picture of movement or reference.

Dial seems to have seen better days and the applied Omega script seems a bit wobbly. Back medallion looks new to me.

Does anyone have any piece of advice? Any info on this reference?

It's a dog.
Somebody has glued a disc (coin?) in place of the Connie plaque.

Too many other issues to waste time on.

Move on.

The dial is refurbished in my opinion, font looks off, lots of damage, wrong crown, bottom left lug perhaps bent, case has lived his life. Not sure throwing any money in this is worth it IMO.

Flat dial - likely a 168.018.
Yes late 60s.
Knackered case
Knackered dial.
Worth buying only if it is €52.0 (as it likely contains a cal564 movt and would be useful for parts. )

Thanks everyone for the quick and great answers! I thought it was a waste of money but still I wanted a confirmation from someone more expert than me.
