    Hi guys,

    I'm lokking at this Constellation from 1956. The dial has a red dot above 3 o'clock. Is this watch legit? And what is the deal with the red dot?

    Why do you ask is it legit? What exactly are your concerns? What do you think about the red dot on the dial?

    The watch is up for sale, but the seller hasn't provided the best pictures to examine. I noticed the red dot, and I have never seen that before. This made me question if the watch is actually a real Omega Constellation.

    And if it is real - why is there a red dot on the dial? :)

    Yes it is real. The red dot may have happened when at some point the dial was out of the case. What it is is impossible to say from that picture.

    Yups, looks authentic enough. Not sure about the dot, but it's certainly not some abhorrent redial/fake.

    The cross hairs appear to go right the way to the edge of the dial
