    Hi all!
    I just want to share the latest watch in my collection, a Omega Constellation F300 (Ref. nr 198.0034).
    The watch it self is in great condition, but the most impressive thing about this is everything that came with.
    Every piece of paper, the receipt, outer-/inner box and even the envelope for the paperwork are original to to the watch :)
    What do OF think?

    Nice to see a full set like that. Clearly the original owner was proud of his purchase (or he was a hoarder!). In any event, enjoy the new acquisition!

    Yeah, the dial is gorgeous :)


    I bought it a while back, but I havent had opportunity to share it with you guys until last week.
    Why do you ask?

    Congrats, gorgeous piece. Great for me as a newbie to see complete sets like this still exist.

    sorry I got the wrong question. I mean what do you know the date of the first purchase of the watch (in the original receipt)? Is should be 1970s or something.

    Lovely lovely, starburst dial? Also looks like NOS.

    Thanks!
    Yes, its a stardust dial :)
    Its not NOS but it has never been polished and it seems to be scarcely used.

    Such a beautiful watch. It was seeing one of these on this forum that made me want to get one, which I did and now have have the blue dial one. However it is now a bit tight on my wrist and I am in need of an 14k gf 1200/651 bracelet link for it, so would welcome any help in this regard.

    The dial is such a looker, it reminds me of an inner eye, the iris and pupil.

    Having the full set only sweetens the deal, wear it in good health sir!

    Finding a full set is fantastic. I feel like saving boxes and papers is much more common now with collectors.

    Hi beautiful watch, it was seeing this post that persuaded me to look out for one and I've now got the blue circle version. However although I have same bracelet as on your watch mine is a bit tight and I've tried to order a new link from Omega but when I sent them the reference 1200/651 they did not recognize the reference. May I ask you for the reference inside the clasp on yours as I don't understand why Omega failed to recognize the number(s) . Thank you so much if you can help. John.

    Nothing quite beats that full set experience
    These 1970s pieces seem to be gaining popularity
    I know where another f300 full set is if anyone’s interested
    I might have had it myself but spent up for now

    Amazing acquisition of a beautiful watch and even more so with the box and paperwork. I had the blue dial version albeit not as nice an example as yours but I have one nonetheless. Unfortunately it's a bit of a tight fit on the bracelet and it would benefit from a new link and I wondered if you could please help me with the reference number for the bracelet to order a new link. Mine is 14k gf also. Thank you so much if you are able to help.
