·I've seen this one on eBay as I'm also looking for the same reference, but the condition is really bad: dirty dial, overpolished case, movement not in great shape.
Check out this thread to see good examples. The lugs should be sharp and facets should be visible. In your example they are all rounded off by overpolishing.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoNot worth buying.
Worn case, not so nice dial, incorrect crown and very tired looking movement.
Stick around here for awhile and absorb some of the collected knowledge.

··ΩF InvestiGatorStrap and buckle are fakes.
The watch itself looks genuine, but has been ridden hard and hung up wet.
You will have great difficulty finding a 10-sided replacement crown.
I would not recommend this one unless it is very cheap and you can afford no better.
Good luck with your search.

·Looks like the seller wanted to flip it without any work done on the watch, dirty dial and case, overpolished lugs and this "authentic" Omega strap and buckle bought for $20 from eBay. Skip it.
😉

·It really seems to be like fishing. Got to be patient but move quick when you see one. Good ones get away and go fast. Final minutes of auction a bit frantic, and end result is often a fair price rather than huge bargain. Sometimes it can be more like gambling eg taking a chance on bad photos apparently a single item from a clear out . I think Constellations are one of the most challenging as they go for quite a lot . Personally for this amount of money if possible I would by from a forum member - some of those who have commented sometimes sell.

I definitely agree, which is why the "how to fish" thread is so good and important to read. Although this is the case, people (myself included) get caught up in a piece that they really want on ebay or other. When you're in that mindset, you jump on pieces and sometimes go a little overboard. In the end of the day, there almost always will be another watch and usually a nicer one will come up.
