Anyone get this one? Would love to see it on a member’s wrist
Yes! Thank you.

For me it is my second watch to buy from this thread, but really I returned the first. The jeweler who had opened it scratched up the dial pretty badly, probably right after taking pictures.

Looking forward to it. I am currently watch less, dropped a watch off for service yesterday, and dropped (to the floor) my other watch, cracking the crystal this morning.

Thank you all who contribute. I was also bidding on the art deco Seamaster De Ville, what a cool one. And obviously the white gold Constellation, but boy is that going to go for a lot.

I would LOVE to see photos of that when you get it, there are hardly any around anywhere, literally just one thread about it in this entire site

This is extremely interesting, 18K solid white gold Constellation C-Case Deluxe with OM OM solid white gold diamond dial, going no reserve

Place your bets gentlemen!

That reminds me, this one still has 4 days left, I’m thinking $4k-6k depending on how hardcore someone is interested given a really nice yellow gold without diamonds goes for $2,400 or so

This one isn’t recommended at this point as the price is a bit high given the dial condition IMO but its an interesting data point worth watching as it ends in 10 mins for Constellation piepan enthusiats

(Not recommended due to price but worth watching for interest) https://www.ebay.com/itm/335672482891?

Seamaster 166.002 Cal 560 that should clean up decently with a service and crystal going no reserve

I have heard sourcing a bezel can be a huge pain or am I incorrect. My local watchmaker told me I'm usually better off just buying a vintage Omega in good condition if it needs bezel work cause sourcing a bezel is tough on older watches. Curious for your two cents

So there is no bezel missing in this watch, the 166.002 case has a gap between the bezel and lugs by design and can look like it is missing one from certain angles but that's actually a styling decision by Omega, and they all look like that: https://omegaforums.net/threads/seamaster-166-002-cal-565-and-165-003-cal-552.61994/

Got it appreciate you.
I know the seller thinks it doesn't have it too but going off the photos they're just guessing based on the gap in that design, it's quite a common thing on 166.002s

This seller is doing an odd thing and pairing watches for sale, the Constellation dogleg in gold-cap is nice as is the dial, the Seamaster is a bit junk. It’s really worth just bidding on it as the Constellation + 200 and then dumping the junk Seamaster afterwards. It might put some buyers off and bring down the price.
