·I've had a bit of luck recently at a local auction house & picked up a couple of nice watches,
Last week I spotted a nice old Omega Constellation 168.004, I'm not too well versed on these things had a quick scoured around the internet, the prices were quite varied, but settled on a price I was happy with and popped in an absentee bid.
They're not big on watches, but the single online auction picture kept drawing me back, so I added another £50 on my absentee bid, just in case... and I won it, my 1st vintage Omega.
It seems to work ok, 1966 serial, the bracelet is far too short for me, but its was just under £500 inc. all fees.
She needs a bit of love and an extra link or 3 in the bracelet, I'll need to find somewhere in the South East that give it a sympathetic clean and service the movement.
Looks like it was looked after in the past with what I assume is service info scratched into the case back.
It feels like a plastic crystal, which I assume is normal.
