·Let me get the watch opened for photography. Cheers
Enclosed please see photos of the Omega 168.005 movement and case back. Watch should be from the year 1969 I guess with serial nos 28961XX; caliber 564.

Damn that case is sharp! And my Connie says hi!
What's with the typos of today's 168.005 owners😟

I'm sure you will agree that you have a couple of very unusual watches there @maxbliss888
Do you have any detailed information about them - such as case references and serial numbers?
And much better pictures to see them properly please!

I don't recall seeing a pie pan with diamond markers before, so unique
Since they are so unique I dug a bit about combinations and stumbled onto the original story, so this can be the "tell" part of the photos: https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-omega-constellation-arrowhead.123232/
My personal conclusion is that it's always best to seek originality, I personally tried some stuff that is minor compared to these, like different model hands on C-Case's, with each experiment I got to appreciate original choices better and restored everything. Better looks, better contrast, better feeling, higher value

·As an example, first tried dauphine hands on this watch:
Dauphine is just very "ugh" with day-date, and the contrast was bad, since the dial is silvered, hard to tell the time
Switched to racing, good contrast, initially liked it, but then started feeling very bad gradually, my conscience wasn't leaving me alone
And this is how an original model looks like, different watch:
Live, experiment and learn
I didn't like baton hands much originally, now I love them, these dials need those large hands and black inlets for contrast

I had completely forgotten about that thread.
According to that thread , I thought @maxbliss888 had returned the arrowhead ‘168.010’?
As for the diamond dialled watch - I don’t recognise the case style at all - so would very much like to know the case reference.
