I'm thinking the dial on this is 18k. Any value opinions, as I'm thinking of selling it. Thanks in advance.

Welcome....

Try ebay sold items for a value indication. What exactly do you think about the dial?

Dial isn't marked OM near Swiss Made, so I suspect a plain brass dial.

Just that it looks like it might be an 18K dial and, if so, a little more desireable.

I don’t think that started until mid-to-late 1960’s. Gold dials on contemporaneous Constellation DeLuxe models were not marked “OM”.

I think an 18K dial is theoretically possible here, although I’ve not seen one with this pattern before.

There’s only one way to find out…😗

If you want to know, have it tested. This thread just looks like a fishing expedition, and at the rate you have been contributing, you won't have 200 posts until the year 2218.

I think original dial but to assure that it’s 18k dial or not , you can visit the watchmaker to see the backside of the dial ?
Also, pls share your results.
