·Love it! Is the dial grey/darker grey or the same as mine? Hard to tell from that picture

Joke aside they're probably the same under different lighting, with different shading, this is my theory, maybe their different aging changes them a bit too
My gold/olive also has re-lume similar to kyorin's, which made me wonder whether they had the same owner at one point, but afaik I asked and it probably wasn't the case, I think 2-3 of my spots have been re-lumed, I'll share some pictures too when I get a better camera

·Your version may be a smidge darker, but it could just be exposure settings. I'm still not sure if it's grey, olive, or brown; again, varies by ambient light. If pushed, my wife says olive. I've also noticed yours has almost gilt writing (perhaps to match the solid gold case), mine is more white/cream.
I think they are probably the same tone and color, mine only appears a bit darker in that specific shot because of the lighting. The font color does seem to be different though, so you are probably right about it trying to match the gold case.

·This is the funniest C-Case I've seen in a while, the diamonds and the white gold case to compensate for the short hands and the 752 within 😁
Just before I started collecting, like a month before, I saw a diamond dial C-Case, then a C-Case with a black date wheel, but ever since I started collecting, nada 😀
In this case it's probably a modified dial since the star has moved too, but I suspect there are better versions out there, original or not

·Got it! I've been stalking this on eBay for the last week, and managed to get the high bid — making this my third fumé (moiré, gradient) dial variant with the yellow in the avatar and the grey/green. Leaving the elusive maroon as the grail...

·I actually wished you'd discuss this one with me, that's why I kinda stalk-messaged you too, timed it with this auction, we could've discussed the logo 😁
Congrats, I hope it's original and I'm very curious about a hands-on analysis

I'll send more pics to the support group when it turns up! (Admitting it is the first step).

funny story about this exact watch.
The guy I got it from is a Facebook seller that I have dealt with so many times we have become mates. He was going overseas for a few weeks and needed a favour. He needed this omega and a black dial 6426 Rolex to the watchmaker we both use for service prior to selling.
So I helped him out. I liked the Rolex so much I purchased it cost as he owed me a few favours and I decided to cash them in.
2 months later, he was selling this omega Connie. I saw it and got it from him for $1026 aud!!! All original and all clean as, almost like new, well almost.
so the two I took to help him out, ended up being mine eventually.
They visited my house only to become permanent residents.

·Good morning all. I’ve been researching c case Connies for a long time now, I have a quick question if I may...I notice some dials with lumed hands and markers don’t have the ‘T’s’ next to Swiss made, such as the one below. Is this just how they were?
Many thanks
Many thanks
