Quite a nice example, Constellation C-Case 168.029 Cal 751 with white gold bezel, nice and sharp with clean dial and hands

This C-Case goes off later today, still quite cheap thus far at only $500

G GabrielPI am a new member and the one who purchased the watch. Many thanks for the tip and for flagging possible issues, albeit even if the Cristal is not the original one I still think that the final cost was a reasonable one (keeping fingers crossed on Vat and custom duties)
I hope to share some pictures when the watch will be delivered
p.s. are you going to kill me if I say that I am planning to replace that bracelet with a strap?
Welcome and congrats, even though listing said original omega bracelet it may not be original to this watch, the original bracelet likely had fitted end pieces. So go for the strap by all means
The seller mentions that the dial might be a replacement, and indeed it is - this doesn’t belong in a 2652. Just thought this should be emphasized before someone here things they might get a bargain. Frankly, this does only make sense to me if you have a a nice 2652 dial (and the right hands) sitting around somewhere. If you do, the case does look indeed nice and I’m crossing my fingers for you the movement is correct.
That bracelet I would replace too, it’s a decent pickup for that price as a head only watch. It’ll need cleaning and service but should come up quite well
G GabrielPI agree. The listing says that it was serviced…but reading your comment I assume that it was a “eBay service” as I read on some previous message!
Decent Cal 750 Seamaster Day-Date “Sparkle” in gold-cap with OEM bracelet going off in 12 hours and quite cheap still at $400
