I have a handshake deal to acquire this.

It's supposedly rose gold.

Just wanted to know more about it. Does it look authentic? Model? Reference number? Production year?

Thanks in advance.

 

What has your own research told you up until now?

 

Would want a better picture and a close up of the script before you get anything.

 

At first I thought it was a pie pan. But it does not resemble any pie pan I have come across in pictures. Does not have that duodecagonal outline.

But that does not necessarily make it a fake.

Seller says it is rose gold. The hallmarks on caseback hard to read anymore. Forgot to take pictures.

Since bracelet does not fit me, seller says he will add a link or two. That concerned me. But I still shook hands.

Togwther with a polerouter (in picture below) I will be getting this Connie for a packaged price of about USD1,700.

 

wil get more pics next week.

It does pass the MOY test. But that does not necessarily mean it's genuine.

 

Hello @pongster
Welcome to the forum
As above - more and better pics required to give any meaningful assessment of your target purchase.
Front back and sides.
Not a pie-pan
Hard to tell from the blurry pic but the fonts on the 'Constellation' look suspect.
Doesn't mean it's not genuine but a redial will affect value.

 

Really terrible pictures but that Constellation dial doesn't look right to me. Minute hash marks seem too far in compared to the outer edge of the applied indices and is that a double crossed "t' in "Constellation"? Too blurry to say much more with certainty

 

Put the hands a 10 and 2 so they are out of the way in those shots, too.

 

I'd say that both watches look suspect. But I wouldn't want to spread false news and ignorance...

And $1,700 is pretty damn cheap.

 

Looks like redial to me...last "n" in Constellation should curl in on this reference.

 

The minute track on the constellation looks to be rather wonky in places... and the UG logo looks to have been stuck back on at a funny angle.

I'd go out on a limb, and say they're both redials.

If it were my money, I'd be walking away.

 

Thanks for the guidelines. Will try to get better pics next week.

 

Vintage Omega experts, cast your vote now. Don't wait until you have better pics, that would be too easy.

I vote for redial.

 

I'm not sure it's worth putting any more effort in here... walk away... there are plenty more watches that are more deserving of your funds than these.

 

Nowaday 80% or more of refinished dials I see seem to pass the MOY test, its an art that has definitely (unfortunately) been perfected in the past couple of years.

 

Unfortunately, wasn't able to walk away.

More pics here.

Is this what a caliber 561 looks like? Consistent with appearance of watch?

 

Could do with some in focus pics
Serial puts it around 66/67 - so quite a late 561
Movement looks like it could do with a service and you need a gasket for the case.
Dial still looks like its redone
Take some clear 'straight on'pics with hands away from text and we'll be able to tell for sure
Hope that helps

 

Thanks for replies. Will get better pics as suggested.
