Hi experts,

Newbie here, just got into the hobby. Really want to add a constellation pie pan to my collection.
Found this 168.005 on ebay. Please let me know if it looks okay.

Thank you.

Its a redial.

I would look out for the much more common silver dialed 168.005 if new to the hobby, that will save you some head ache.

Black dialed Constellations are generally repainted, with some exceptions of course.

Hi, welcome to the forum. This is a very poor redial. I would suggest spending some time reading through this informative thread: https://omegaforums.net/threads/learn-how-to-fish.52603/ to help you on your quest to find your next watch.

It even says „Dial: black refinished“ in the description. 😉

It has been finished twice, hence the greater value 😀

Ps: Thought you were hiking 😀)

thank you very much for your input.

my ideal is the goldcapped version with the arrow head markers. Perhaps I should just be patient and wait.

Take some time to read through what you can find here in this forum. You’ll cover a lot of ground and laugh along the way. Worth the time before plunging in. Compare and contrast always helps
