Hi
Came across this what looks to be an early Constellation waiting for a photo of the movement
Wondering what more knowledgeable members think
The dial to me looks original and it Seems to have crossed t on the Constellation legend

I don’t like the color of the outside ring on the dial. Frequently these age to a different color because they’re a different texture, but this one appears painted and I don’t recall seeing that before.

While the inside circle seems original, I don’t like the crosshair misalignment with the Omega logo and the misalignment and general shape of some of the 5-minute markers. I’ll let others chime in..

Crown is a later replacement but is the correct style.

The lighting of these pics are totally off. You'll get a totally different looking watch than the one pictured. I would never buy based off these pictures.

Echo the concerns above. In addition, I think the seconds hand has been replaced.

Both the watch and the photos are being tinkered with. I'd avoid.

Looks ok to me. I would go for it if the price were right. If I'm not mistaken I used to own this one many years ago...two tone aged waffle dial and blued seconds hand.

Never had one of these in hands but I would say it looks original and beautiful. If I had the funds I would buy this. Dont know about the blue hand but it looks fantastic. I think I saw this before. Price of EUR 1536 is very reasonable IMO. I like it... Hope somebody else wont snatch it now you posted it but the pictures show where this watch can be found.

It looks like a 2652 so should have either a 352, or more likely a 354.

I’d certainly be tempted that waffle dial looks great. Can’t speak to the crosshairs not familiar enough with them. They look good to me but I’d take the word of the more educated members

I am not interested in buying the watch, but curious how the pictures show where the watch can be found?
