Okay Hoi, you got me on a technicality - I should amend that to say "there's nothing to peel off an authentic solid gold case".
The whole point of this thread was to recommend vintage omegas on ebay worthwhile pursuing. Of course that connie is a solid gold case - otherwise I would not have listed it here.
If you like the model this looks like a nice example.

Nice early textured dial constellation with a 2652 screwback case and original textured dial. Cal. 354 movement looks to be in nice shape as well.
