Vintage Omega Constellation C-Case grey dial Cal 751 going no reserve

https://www.ebay.com/itm/256847503478

I believe this is the exact same watch I bought and returned back in December. It was originally sold from a Japan seller who didn't show good pictures of anything. In person I discovered there was some orange discoloration (rust?) On a few of the indices, the day/date window & the OMEGA text. So I returned it and later in January it sold on Yahoo auctions for about $700.

Ask the seller about any rust or discoloration on the indices. either the new seller somehow cleaned/removed the discoloration, or his pictures aren't showing it very well.

My pictures definitely show the spot on the dial better, but it wasn't too bad in person, the lighting plays a huge role in its visibility.

I believe you are right. Here is the final picture in the ebay listing. Nice of them to point it out. The pictures they took do an excellent job of hiding the flaws though. I think it's still a pretty cool watch.

I asked the seller to make some additional pictures and he added some very clearly showing the flaw. So he is being very transparent about it!

I made the same request and he was very responsive. I believe he made his best attempt to capture it in the best detail he could.

In the additional photos, it appears the omega text may have some oxidation to it as well… or am I overstating that?

Seamaster 18K Gold Jumbo Cal 564 in steel going no reserve

On this one I’m going to ask it as I thought it was a bit of a custom to not post certain highly sought after references on this thread. Is that not the case?

And mea culpa if I’m mistaken but since this is an uncommon solid gold example of this reference, I can think of a few members who would have liked to see how this performed without the spotlight.

I thought that anything on eBay would be fair game, as anyone seeking such a reference would surely have Saved Searches so they would already be aware?!?
