Another project finally completed ....14381 with rose gold furniture and cross hair dial.
NOS case/bezel utilising old caseback and new hands.

Thank you for sharing

Paul, thanks for your kind comments.

Here鈥檚 the only original photos I kept, as you can see the case is quite polished.

My first Omega was this Constellation, a redial but it鈥檚 mine and it鈥檚 beautiful. Just wish I could find out more about the year etc.

You'll have to pop the back of for that. The serial-, caliber- and case numbers found inside will help you get all of the info.

(Get a watchmaker to do it if you do not know how to without damaging the case)

I wish it were that easy! I'd have no issue if it were popping off the back, but this one is a unishell front loaded case so I'd have to get a tool for the crystal and pop off the crown. But like you said, much rather get a watchmaker to do it to not risk damage to the crystal aside from even finding the right tool (tool 107 I'm assuming). One of these days...
