    Ah, must admit I didn’t look too closely, just appeared to be a decent colour with a nice tritium fade

    I'm gonna go on a limb and say that this is not in tip-top shape (though I think a crystal polish will go a long way), but this could be a really good first watch for someone entering the vintage game. And at $420 and from a highly recommended eBay seller (closer0924) I think it is a great watch with real character.

    A stunning example of a piepan Constellation 14381 just popped up on eBay as an open auction. They are still out there...

    I think that the Tuxedo faced Cosmic watches of the late 1960's are amongst the most stylish watches that Omega has ever made, with 565 cal movements or 752 as day date they offer an unbeatable combination of quality too

    Nope. No affiliation whatsoever. I'd disclose if I was the seller. I figured I've recommended enough watches in this thread that folks would see I'm not hawking my wares. :)

    Lovely watch either way. The second hand seems long for a pie-pan though.

    Another barn find:

    I know the company selling the watch. They are one of these outfits that holds "jewelry fairs" in hotel ballrooms, etc. They buy watches based on the name on the dial for pennies on the dial and sell them as-is.

    If you can get this one cheap, it doesn't look to need too much to be rehabilitated.

    Good luck,

    Only if it is a transitional cal. 564. If it is the cal. 1011, it is market correct.

    [sarcasm]Why not? Worst they can do is say "no".[/sarcasm].

    Still think its very nicely priced given the superb condition it appears to be in.
