I know that it is a cobtroversial model (to say the least) but i think it will gain fans in the future. Offcourse the one with the mechanical calibre 1111 is more collectible.
It fits my small wrist perfectly.
Love the applied roman numerals!

Not mine 😀, but I thought I post it for posterity. A OT 18781. It's being offered in Japan for a BIN of as little as $18.6k

So it's taken a while....7 years to be precise...to finally score an RG 7077 for my RG 2853....so here a group shot with friends 😀

The bracelet came to me from @MtV with a couple of shiny things going his way....more about that another time in a joint post 😉

Wow, that is special. Congrats on a wonderful set. Wear them in good health. Is there any point in calling dibs?!?

Just picked up this quite rare 1956 Constellation reference 2887. Caliber 501 with a screw-in case back and very limited production. I’m having the movement serviced and the incorrect crown and crystal replaced with period correct Omega parts. After that, I’m just going to stare at it and be happy. 😀

Not as cold here but enough snow for a nice background…

Nice! Two twin sisters. I note the absence of "officially certified" - is it a 14900?

Never owned a constellation. Came close once when I had to choose between a constellation and seamaster. The seamaster was in better condition so I went for that.
One day I’ll own a constellation, the bumper versions are becoming more and more appealing to me.

There is something extra spicy with the early bumper models, def worth to walk that extra mile to find a good early one compared to the more common full rotor models 😀

You are absolutely right @hejsam your constellation being a one of the reasons the bumper versions are growing on me. 😉
