Omega Constellation Pie Pan 14900 62 SC

tony87 · Tues. 10:40pm

Hello everybody and thank you for making me join this forum. I am a watch enthusiast and just purchased my first Omega which is a Constellation 14900 62 SC with a 551 movement (please refer to the pictures attached, I don’t have a movement one unfortunately and I’m not good at opening up watches especially vintage ones). I instantly fell in love with it, especially due to the Pie Pan dial and golden touches. I have not found the same configuration on another watch yet (color of the indices/hands/logo, no crosshair dial, no ‘Swiss Made’ indication on the dial) and would like to know your thoughts on it. Thank you very much in advance!

It is unfortunately a repainted/redial watch, which is why the 'swiss made' is missing. Sadly a replaced crown an unfortunately way overpolished lugs. Hopefully you didn't pay too much, (or can get your money back), else enjoy it!.

I did not expect it honestly. I got it from a reputed seller who provided me with a certificate of authenticity and informed me the watch had been serviced and was all coeval meaning all the parts were from its original era. I really like it honestly and paid 1800 euros for it.

The set of hands are also not original. The originals would be more faceted. But if you like it then it doesn’t matter. Enjoy the watch!

To me it is also important that the watch is original in the sense that it should be coeval (some parts could have been replaced but they should be original and from that era)

In that case, here’s what it should look like: https://omegaforums.net/threads/constellation-14900.171954/

If you bought this recently from a “trusted” dealer, you should probably try to get a return. Unfortunately many dealers also don’t know enough to know if a watch is original or not.

I will think about it since I really like its configuration but want it to be original at the same time. Could I please ask what you mean exactly by ‘not original’? Are they not original Omega parts anyway? Thank you all

tony87,

I would suggest trying to return the watch and get your money back. The watch has a lot of issues and it’s certainly not an 1,800 euro watch. Here’s a few photos of an excellent 14900 62 SC to compare. I think that you will become less happy with your watch over time when you have a better idea of what a good example is. Best luck to you.

Thank you, that’s a beautiful piece you have there, may I ask the current price for a model like yours in gold?

Harvey Wyatt · 2026-04-29T00:16:51-0500

That’s a tough one. The watch still has a nice overall look, but on a Constellation like this, the small details matter.

gbesq · 2026-04-29T00:17:42-0500

For an excellent cap gold roughly $2,500 USD.

tony87 · 2026-04-29T01:02:32-0500

As I understand it, you are all basically telling me that the watch is not original in the sense that its pieces are Omega ones but not coeval, thank you

Search past sales listings on OF and you’ll find examples of excellent original, non-refinished pie pan dial constellations that have sold for less than €1800.

It depends what you’re looking for - but if you’ve asked here it’s probably that you care and want a watch in original condition (as it left the factory). This one didn’t leave like that.

As stated above the dial was repainted, the crown is a typical replacement, but not correct for this reference. The case is heavily polished (the lugs are very rounded while there should be sharp edges).

I would try to return it to the trusted seller, as these issue massively impact value and the price paid is more line with a good condition example, fully original. With some patience and research, you can find a much better example at this price point.

If you can’t return it - or you don’t want to spend time looking for another example - that’s also fine. Not everyone cares and needs a collector grade example. It doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy the watch.

However if you’re planning on sticking around and building a little vintage watch collection, then these issues will end up bothering you and you won’t be able to resell this anywhere near the price point you paid.

Stop saying coeval. It’s making my head hurt. The watch isn’t original (or in fact coeval if you must) in the sense that someone, not Omega, has ground the paint off the dial then repainted it in a way which with a little experience you can tell instantly, particularly the text. With a piece like this perhaps 25-50% of the value resides in the condition and originality of the dial.

Are the watch parts those which could have come out of an omega factory in the 60s? Maybe, though there are question marks over the hands. Is the watch worth anywhere near as much as one which has not been redialled? No.

If this doesn’t bother you, happy days, but as you might have noticed you’ll struggle to convince the membership here it’s not an issue.

You came here to get advice and affirmation. You have gotten good, consistent advice from knowledgeable people, but you seem to be not that interested in accepting the good advice. The watch is clearly problematic, particularly the refinished dial and the over polishing, but you can throw away your money however you want.

SOG53 · 2026-04-29T06:18:21-0500

You have paid a high noob tax for a poor watch from unscrupulous seller. You should return it promptly if possible.
Then research what these should look like and ask first before buying for a better result next time.
Plenty of resources here use advanced search option for whatever you’re looking at
Good luck

Welcome @tony87
Compliments on your good taste for wanting a dogleg pie pan Constellation.

Apologies, I’m not usually so harsh - but this is a pretty awful example.

The beauty of the dogleg case has been completely polished away and the dial looks like it has been repainted by a child with a sharpy.

I think you have paid something like 3 or even 4 times the market value of this watch.

If the seller says all parts are correct and original ( not just original, as the the dial is likely original to the watch but repainted) then you should return it asap if you can.

Sorry but EUR 1800 for that is straight up robbery. Nothing coeval about that whatever that means.
