    Hi,
    a seller is selling an Omega Constellation ('60?) with original box.
    It's a pawn store (something like that) and they don't know anything about the watch (they only know what it is written on the dial and in the box) and also they can't open the watch to take a picture of the movement inside. I can see that the bracelet is a stainless steel 8260. I can't see "Swiss Made" on the dial: is it ok?
    Here are the pictures they toke http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/statuto1/library/omega?sort=3&page=1
    The question is: which Omega Constellation could be? Assuming it's all original, they ask 600 euro: worth? :cautious:

    At best this is a terrible redial!:eek: This is not worth anywhere near what their asking, pass on this there are far better examples out there.

    I'd like to understand (and learn :)): why do you say it's a redial?

    The script for Constellation is poorly done and totally wrong, letters wrong. Look at them compared to correct.


    Missing
    Chronometre and
    Officially Certified are missing

    Hands wrong
    Second hand wrong

    Some Constellations don't have the Officially Certified, as in the 14381, but they always have Chronometer/Chronometre on the dial. And as Steve has said, the font is all wrong.
