careful of the dent on the top of the lug. Seems rather deep and large IMO.

I believe that the "hole" is the customs stamp from Portugal at the time.
Learned this from achim last week here.
Cheers

Yup, Portuguese import stamp. At least you know where it was delivered to!

How can you tell if the dial is solid gold without the "OM" on either side of "Swiss Made"?
The use of "OM" appears to be intermittent according to Desmond, so in most cases you would have to look at the back to be sure. However, gold dial Constellations are usually fairly distinctive.
I do not believe the watch that Ash (Ash never said the dial was gold) posted and you quote has a gold dial. I think it is just the effect of the color temperature of the photo lighting source.

Golden seamaster. Condition being equal I prefer this to the grand luxe constellation pictured above - certainly more uncommon and harder to find especially with an original 18k gold bracelet.

Its stunning and the rivet bracelet looks great, its just that the Grand Luxe stepped Piepan is that perfect storm of Omega's most dramatic and loved design elements.

Like Ashley I just can't bring myself to get all hyped over it especially at the price they bring.

Oh yeah - 0 feedback seller with fuzzy pics.... an Omega collectors dream!

(....of the nightmare variety, that is. 😜)

Why do I remember a similar eBay ID that had a negative connotation attached to it?
Plus does not take returns and that bracelet is aftermarket.

So what colour do you think the dial is? Do you have a photo d what u think it might look like?
