Up for grabs is my 18K Constellation De Luxe reference 2852 / 3 caliber 505. As Mike would say, Condition, Condition, Condition!!! These days you simply can not find one of these watches for sale in this kind of Condition. Simply put, you’d be hard pressed to find a better example than this one, and the very small number of guys that have managed to secure a better specimen aren’t parting with theirs. I got the watch from Germany back in December 2013. At the time I took it to one the best Jewellery / Antique watch stores in town. They were shocked at the condition of the watch, in and out. When they tested the watch the timing was bang on. It set and adjusted really easy. The jeweler refused to service the watch. Considering they charge $300 CDN for a service I was impressed. I do not know the history of the watch so I don't know when it was serviced last. The watch comes with a genuine Omega leather (lizard design) strap and a vintage gold plated Omega buckle.

I’m basing my price on what some eBay listings ended at (aka: kstar on ebay, Alex in Mexico and ulackfocus on the forums) in the last year-ish – and this watch is better than those; maybe all of them. First person to come up with the asking price of $4,350 US gets it. If you are outside of the US I will take payment in Canadian $'s. Contact via message / conversation here at Omega Forums ONLY so I can assure everyone that first come is first served according to the time I receive the PM. Payment is through Paypal. Shipping will be via Canada Post which is USPS in the US. At your cost I will ship any way you want me to as long as there is a tracking number on the package. For countries that have large custom costs I will also ship with no insurance so that you do not (hopefully) pay custom costs, BUT you will have to state in an email that the shipping risks are YOURS to take, NOT mine!

I will answer all questions as honestly as I can. More pictures can be taken at any specific angle that you might want. The pictures pretty much tell the story.

Opps! Yes, yellow gold! As well, the crystal is original with the Omega symbol in the center of it.

Canberra, I only have one black dial seamaster. Been wanting to post pictures on it but I am waiting for the watch to be serviced. Will do it soon. But I have been learning about the various pie pans while looking out for the right one.

You found it! Now you just have to be able to pay for it! 😉

I had someone ask me about the serial number on the movement to get a proper idea on the age of the watch. It is 15,221,787. This would put the watch at approximately 1957 according to http://chronomaddox.com/omega_serial_numbers.html.

Looks like one potential sale has fallen through, still for sale!

I will have to sell my kidney in order to pay for it. That movement looks amazing.
