Omega Constellation on Catawiki Fake or Genuine?

Which was my original observation: Redial and franken.

Welcome aboard. 😉

Not a big deal; this got confusing fast. Just to be clear: That movement is not a 682, assuming the reference is 768.0806.

This watch is redialed but not a franken. The movement is a chronometer 1011. The adjusted 5 position print is blurry but can still be read.

The 682/685 movement is much different and smaller. The size of ref 768.0806 is also much smaller than 33mm as well.

It would've been better if she'd questioned whether it was a fake first before buying though.

Absolutely. I'm glad you could make out the caliber. I had to go by what the "expert" said it was.

368.0852 / 168.059. There's an image of the .0855 in the OVD and it's a different and much bigger watch.

Maybe not enough coffee. 😵‍💫

Hello ladies (if any) and gentlemen! Thank you for your precious feedback, I wish I had found this beautiful forum before I placed my bid...
I still haven’t paid it, but I guess Catawiki forces you paying no matter what once you win, and then you have 14 days for dispute... but I guess in case of refund I will still lose my shipping and custom costs ‍♀️
I am shocked, because I was advised that it was a really secure place where to buy, and the seller seemed to have a good feedback

It's your money until you hand it over, surely?

Those little info labels reall suck.

My one experience with Catawiki was a complete turn-off. They listed a white gold Speedmaster early this year, so we're talking about a high value item. The listing had .jpeg images of 30-60Kb that were useless for assessing condition, the description was only in Polish and after using Google Translate to make sense of it, it contained around 10 words about the condition of the watch with the remainder largely irrelevant. Here's the translation. The best part of it was the backside comment:

"
The 18-carat white gold Speedmaster Professional Moonphase was only available for a limited time
and commemorated the 30th anniversary of the Apollo XI landing in 1969. Only 2 thousand pieces were taken!
I have been using it for many years and it was used only occasionally ... it has no damage or scratches ...
the mechanism is fully functional ... the price is about 20 years ago 11000-12000tys.dolarow ...
the hairpin itself costs about 1,200 euros! also gold!
I think that today is such a backside that it is no longer on the market and its value only grows ...
"

Being interested, I emailed Catawiki requesting some hi-res images and asking about a corrector, as follows:



Catawiki came back with:



Needless to say, no bids came from me. The bottom line is they don't even handle the merchandise themselves. The seller takes the photos and provides the description. Catawiki "experts" do nothing of any substance - they don't even get the description translated. This listing was also Berry Harleman's and I can only concur with what @efauser said above.

Oh now I know... Do you think there is a way to refuse the purchase since I haven't paid yet, or the only way is to pay, receive and then go fir dispute?

After rereading the thread, you're getting what you should be getting, even if the watch was misrepresented. Although the listing stated the watch has a cal. 1012, it appears to have a cal 1011, which is correct for that watch. You knew it was a redial so you don't have an out there. My suggestion is to wear the watch and keep it as a reminder to research first.

Just don't pay, haven't done it myself but I hear it happens a lot on Catawiki and I don't think you'll get in trouble for it, probably even link them this thread and they will understand.
