Hi everyone,

I've started my Youtube series, in hindsight I'm not the best at speaking and recording without a script, also the only silent time around here is midnight and I feel like my energy is a bit too low during some sections, but still it feels good to get things rolling, hoping to increase quality along the way

Here are the first 2 episodes, there are currently 8, the 2nd one is the best as I go through a lot of bracelets:

Hope it's useful, you can pm me for suggestions or requests

I wanted to say "thank you!" for this. I knew there was a lot of variation over the fairly long time that the C-Case Constellations were produced - but I had absolutely no idea how deep that rabbit hole goes. Currently six videos in and still trying to get my bearings, there's a lot of useful info in there. Definitely more than I can absorb in one go.
So, thanks again!

Im wondering about the crone and the index, i dont find something to the crone. Would it be a good watch for a service? I would replace the crone. Can someone tell me what is the right crone for it? and the text "constellation", can someone tell me about the year or why are there other texture on other omegas?

Crown looks original, Omega changed the "Constellation" font with each new dial iteration on C-Case's

It's definitely very original, likely 100%, case is likely original finish as well

Hi C Case people,

looking for reputable watch maker who can service my watch in Scotland (preferably) or the UK.

Any sources? Or people you all trust?

would also like a light refinish of my case and possibly a new crystal..

Thanks

Although I haven't personally used either, I've read good things on OF and other watch forums about both Simon Freese (http://www.simonfreesewatchmakers.com/) and Mitka (https://mitka.co.uk/).

Great video, the sexy green dial you snuck in at the end was a stunner and I can't wait to see it finished.

Will you do a video covering all possible dial combinations ? I really want a black dial or a dark grey dial watch but for guys with little experience like me buying what looks good on CH24 is like packing my own parachute.... This thread is great but it still leaves me feeling nervous where as a comprehensive all in one video would answer everyones questions.

Keep the videos coming 馃榾

Thank you, I appreciate all the kind words - thanks for your kind words as well @HamDoctor

I still don't have all the unique dials, that's why it's a early to go through all of them, if you consider every small variation, there's probably 100-1000 of them too - easily more than a 100, but I'm not sure how much more

Just yesterday discovered a new olive dial: (The original video is very long, but in the end you can see 3 different steel olives)

I also gave up on collecting all the different variations for now, maybe if I'm a multi-millionaire one day, I can catch them all - just concentrating on rare dials for now

Great videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've already watched a few episodes and will definitely watch the remaining episodes.

Keep up the good work! 馃憤

Had to sell my motorbike to pay bills but managed to keep a few bank notes for a nice watch . So I found a Constellation on the Bay , very dirty but my fav dial !
Had to service it , case back was very reluctant so well .. how it started :

And how it ended after a carefull clean and service :

Love this watch , I still have to find a Nice 19mm band , the ideal would be a brick bracelet 1040 of course , !

Sure isn鈥檛 my listing, you are correct to say I flip but I flipped to a local watchmaker and not eBay. I was surprised to see another blue dial.

^thanks for your cheek though.
