Omega Constellation pie pan: opinions?

I found this watch on Chrono24 and think it looks pretty good but I'm still learning what to look out for. I would be grateful for a more experienced eye to check for issues! Thanks.

Looks like the bezel is missing? The poor quality images are hiding it well though

It really is impossible to tell you much about the watch due to the poor quality of the images - other than the bezel is indeed missing.

The watch is nice, except for the major issue of the missing bezel, which is stated in the description. Seller is legit, too, I think - he reached out to me a few months ago regarding the piece and asked for advise.

Do note that you cannot buy a spare bezel, these don’t exist. And that’s pretty much meant literally, not figuratively.

Your only chance is to have a goldsmith produce one, for which he’ll need an example as a model. So you’d have to have a second dogleg (14900, 14902, 167.005 and 168.005 all work in theory, be aware of different case manufacturers though).

That’s the reason this one hasn’t sold yet.

As soon as possible in your learnings, you must become very attuned to what the seller's words do, and do not say. In this case, they clearly state
"Al parecer le falta un pequeño bisel de oro, alrededor del plexiglas, de ahi su precio mas competitivo. El comprador deberá buscar un bisel de oro."
That is, "Apparently it lacks a small gold bezel around the plexiglass, hence its more competitive price. The buyer will need to look for a gold bezel." (Thank you, Google Translate for checking me.) Whether you are looking for a project or to avoid one, that is a really strong signal!
