    Hey guys,

    To cut a long story short, I got given this 18k omega constellation yesterday, and the owner swears it's a mans watch, but I really can't see it to be honest!

    Also can't find it anywhere online after hours of looking, just wondering if you could help me anywhere to you can, ie model, price, age etc! Thanks in advance jamie

    Looks like one of the 1970s dress pieces, it was a popular style at the time, need to see the inside of the caseback to tell more

    I´m not sure if it is genuine, can you show a picture of the case back please.

    Hi guys, thanks for the response, will take some more photos when I get home from work, so just a photo of the back and one of the inside case back? Do I pop the back off with a flathead screwdriver? Thanks

    Start with one of the outside case back. If it has lots of hallmarks saying 18kt gold and Omega and triangles and stuff like that, then the chances are it is not a genuine piece and you won´t need to open it up.
    Really need to see it to say anything with certainty though.
