    Dear all,

    I'm very new to Omega and want to buy an Omega constellation with the original mag window.
    This is being sold on Ebay.

    Through the picture, I feel something not good (for example the crown with Omega sign),...but I'm very new and it is just a feeling. Could you please have a look and advise?

    Thanks a lot.

    The magnifier might be the only thing original on that watch (or more likely its a replacement part too). That watch is wrong on almost every level from the movement to the case to the trashed dial. Whoever bid $399 on it is backing a lame horse.

    Usually even a franken or redial has some things going for it, this thing has zero positives. BTW if you want the original magnifier window, its a plastic crystal, costs like $40, buy whatever Connie you want then get your watchmaker to install one.

    Thank you very much. I'm totally new to this area and learning. Could you please also advise the link for buying that kind of crystal?

    Thanks a lot.
