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.

Yes. This watch is not mine. The shop has insisted that it is all original white gold and has allowed me to take photos

I looked in AJTT but couldn’t find anything but I think you’ve cracked it there 👍

I think the Omega Seamaster case is not a screw back case l, if my memory serves me correctly.
I’m no expert …

If that is what it says in the case back then it is indeed an amalgamation of parts.
The main case is a Seamaster shaped case.
The 14902 could never have originallly had a 564 in it.

Hi. The 18k white Gold Omega constellation
168.010/11
Cal 564
2868-5xxx


The 18k markings in the case back look ok - a white gold Constellation in this reference is an uncommon thing.

Because it is uncommon - It is just possible that someone ordered a special black dial with arrowhead indices - and we have seen dials with Ts on and no lume before.

However, given it’s a black dial, with arrowheads and Ts, I think the only way of checking authenticity would be to check the back of the dial for signs of ‘tampering’ before pronouncing it authentic.

For the Omega Constellation C shape, i think there are several variations covering the 18k yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, yellow gold with white gold bezel, steel with gold bezel, smooth bezel etc…I used to like the traditional Constellation more but lately, these C shape seems to be quite attractive given the larger size..
Comparison between the yellow gold vs rose.

If you haven’t already seen it, there is a whole thread dedicated to the C case Constellation by the C case fandom.
That’s where this info belongs.
( and you missed the .007 and .008 which are probably both illustrated there)

2652 cal 352 Dome and arrowheads

Hi cristos71 - I have an exact match to your Omega. Mine is a 1958 Constellation. Arrowhead markers, crosshairs, pie pan dials and Chronometre spelled that way. Calliber 505. Case Reference 2887-2. Unused from 1964. Any idea why Chronometre and not Chronometre?
