Purchased recently, and a little concerned with what I am seeing on the dial. Would love some feedback from those more experienced with these vintage Constellations.

Thank you,
David

Poorly refinished dial and incorrect hands ... but on the bright side, all the words are spelled correctly. 😁

On a marginally more upbeat note, David.

If you’re unable to return it and obtain a refund, only you, the seller and members of OF who’ve read this thread will know the above and 99.99% of the people with whom you come into contact will just see the watch as a nice looking Omega - which, indeed, parts of it are.

The first picture itself gives it up. The lettering is so badly done...

All fake except the movement, sorry.

yup, classic fake case and dial.
unusual in that it actually has a chronometer grade movt - unless they switched the bridge on a standard movt.

Are you sure?

Jeez, are you serious, this is really going to the next level, the movement is then a chronometer designated 565 or the suchlike? 🙁

But if you have this and other kinds of evidence of fake parts ( for example I remember the stepped pie-pan dials ) would it not be more helpful to post it earlier as a warning sign to us all. That would be greatly appreciated by many, many here, myself included 😀
