The C-Cased Constellation Thread

Would appreciate advice, if the dial is original,

Do you know the reference number?

Thanks for sharing

And a not-fun fact from me, Ladies C-Case's cost 75% as much as regular sized ones, crazy, for other watches it's 5% to 40% - we're on Seamaster 120 territory - I wanted one just for the novelty but could never find a reasonable one, none of them are in good shape either, which is wholesome if you think about it, the watches had their time

Two JDM watches from me, one C-Cased Constellation and a C-Cased "Electrogolf" (They combined Electro and Golf, which I assume was popular at the time in Japan) - along with hard to find 20mm and 19mm Omega loops

There were too many conflicting information about these watches online, ultimately the Electrogolf one ended up being 20mm and the Constellation one ended up being 19mm - none of them are compatible with any bracelet I have laying around, if I was in charge of the design, I'd make both of them accept 518 size endlinks, would be nice to have them in the bracelet family - going to buy one of the grey 300Hz's at one point too, I suspect that one shares the same case with Electrogolf's

I assume 168.017 - I'd be pretty suprised if it isn't

Hi Kaplan,

does ur Electrogolf has an engraving on the back?

just found yesterday two of them on y.auctions and was wondering about what it is?

What caliber is inside Yours?

Thanks & best regards from Japan,
Tako

P.S. the fact that ladies vintage watches are lower in price is discriminatory!
Lol!

A bitter happy moment today, I thought I bought a single owner matte black dial variant a month ago, after buying that, my next target was the blue-gray sunburst variant, everyday I was looking everywhere for one - the only example online was this one: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-constellation-168-017-grey-blue-dial.97481/ - I even pm'ed the member hoping I could ask the buyer to sell, but the member didn't reply 😁

Well, the single-owner matte black arrived today, and it was actually the blue-gray sunburst variant, certainly a suprise, but I wasn't sure whether I should be happy or shocked 😁 / Seller's photos definitely made it appear matte black

I bought the one below beforehand, it's definitely a matte black variant, and I have a set of dauphine hands, and another set of baton steel hands that will fit, as I don't think those white hands are original?

^ Would appreciate advice, if the dial is original, it's a very early example I believe, as tiny 'swiss made' stamps are rare - the white hands are perplexing, I assumed they are not original, but what/where are they from? (the watch is in US storage, going to ship it to myself soon)

Now i could join the club with my newest addition my Omega 168.029

Right now i´m trying to fix an issue with my 1040 bracelet, just used the leather bracelet for the watch shot 😀

And THX again to FatCat for the Endlinks 😀

A recent purchase for me, 168.028. I have been after a white gold bezel version for a while.
It will be off for a service very soon, but am admiring it on the wrist for a bit first!
