Well I’ll be damned if y’all ain’t making me wanna go out and buy more watches!!! How am I gonna sneak these ones into the house? They look totally different from all my other Omegas (where multiple can pass as 1)...

 

No imagination! How about buying two, you know “his’n’hers” at 34mm you might just get away with it

 

Congrats it looks really stunning and shiny.

Enjoy it and take care of the steel bracelet, they are difficult to find

That is a very good choice for your only watch. Classy.

 

Ain’t gonna happen, the only Omega she likes is the tiny 17mm cal 661 I gave her that came with the 1501 Speedybox I snagged! Better try source another of those and say ‘look at this funny watch it came with for me’...

 

There is a smaller ladies version - reference 568.001/568.011

That’s not exactly the bricks one that you usually see on these, but I bet it will look nice, just the same. Those flat links work well with the watch’s aesthetic.

 

For comparison:

 

Has anyone dealt with Time Rediscovered before? They have a 168.017 available at the moment, which to my untrained eye pretty straight, though it looks to be priced rather high:

The same seller has it listed for £200 less on Chrono24.

 

That price is too high.

 

‘One of the most underrated “Conties” available today...’

One of the what now?

Pass.

 

Maybe the same people that wrote this:- “Our team at Continental Tire has worked tirelessly to develop a tire that would stand-up to the demands of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway,”

 

Is this one the correct bracelet for the watch? I thought the bricks bracelets belonged on Grand Lux models?

 

Originally delivered to Japan, if not mistaken.

Not looking to add another Connie, but one of these exotics would be right up my alley.

I don't know the answer to that one mate. I just saw it in a watch shop in the UK (alongside the other one that I posted) and thought it looked very elegant.

I'm sure one of the Constellation experts will know. @tyrantlizardrex is keen on these Omega watches, give him a shout.

 

No idea chap.

On the c-cased I think you’re right, but on other models... ?

 

That particular dial variant?

 

So I posted the first picture of mine on my wrist on Sunday, and I just realized the date was wrong. I shared that. Publicly.

If nothing else it demonstrates why I needed a watch I guess.

Anyway, in case anyone is using this thread to tell time...

 

by the way, is there a non-chronometer (166.) version of this Constellation? I haven't seen any.

 

I wondered the same. I keep seeing the reference number, but my searches come up empty.
