Thank you so much for sharing your photos, your Connie looks fantastic! Would you mind also posting a full picture of the case back, I am interested to see how it should look. Mine is mirror-smooth and the observatory lacks the bricks that can be seen on other watches.

Amazing, thank you so much @Peemacgee and @Verdi!

I would be grateful for any tips for independent watchmakers who have access to genuine Omega parts and could disassemble the watch (special tool needed) and service the movement. I live in Zurich. I read a thread (which I unfortunately cannot now find) where members recommended https://losttimepieces.com/ but I am open to any plausible alternative, preferably around ZH, but if it is worth the effort due to the watchmaker's excellent experience, also anywhere in Switzerland would be ok, thank you!

The watch is not that hard to open and service. Any trained watchmaker has the tools and knowledge to do it. You are in Zurich, ask around for a watchmaker/watch repair centre and take it to them. Don't stress about that.

Ask the matchmaker about (if?) his "Omega Zertifizierungsstufe".

@Tag0935

was just looking through AJTT and thought you might like to see this image showing the 'opposite dial' companion to your watch, with some info.

@Peemacgee I like it indeed, Ashley's overview https://stories.omegaforums.net/constellation-monocoque-piepan/ shows this dial variant as well, so I was aware it exists.

It is a pity such tuxedo dials are no longer produced, the last somehow similar variant that I remember was in some De Ville reference in the 2000s. I wonder how many buyers it would attract today if they reintroduced such dials into the modern Globemaster line.
