    I've been a bit sceptical about black dialed omegas, but somehow I got lucky with this...

    So I wonder if the ladyluck still by my side with this one...

    It looks original to me as the text was in silver (to my eye with my phone, but I I could be mistaken) but I wonder about the swiss made as it was in gilt?
    The case ref is 14381-3 SC.
    Thanks for the help in advance! Any input would greatly appreciated!

    Best

    It looks nicely done

    But shouldn’t a 14381 have an applied Omega?

    The text should match the dial furniture color - so this should have all gold writing, not just the SWISS MADE.

    The OMEGA looks wonky to me. Could be photography & angles.

    having had some coffee, donned hair shirt and started some work....
    I'm still not happy with the OMEGA
    the letters are normally joined together on a 14381 but don't appear to be in this example

    Can you get a decent straight on shot?
    A good reference check is the second E in Chronometer, the lower leg of the E should be slightly longer than the top leg.

    The point of the star should also align very close to the first L in Constellation.

    OPs Constellation looks like a correct gold gilt dial, at least based on the provided photos.
