Thanks for the kind words! This is the Ref 14393

I love it! I know that many people really like the pie-pan dials, but I am partial to these sort of domed dials.

Even more, I love the creamy color of the dial.

I'm just beginning a search for something very much like your beautiful Constellation--either a Connie or a Seamaster.

In any case, thanks again!
Chris

I love pie-pan dials and this domed ones equally. This domed dial looks diffrent, depending on light - actually its kind of brushed (central) silver but often it looks very creamy indeed.
I also own one with strong patina which i also very much adore:

Thanks again, Pixitfecit: That's very interesting that the first watch is silver, but appears creamy. I wonder: did Omega make cream dials, or were they mostly sliver?

I also like your more patinated Constellation!

I might try asking around on the main Vintage forum here on OF to learn more about creamy dials. 😀

A dome dialed steel on steel 168.004 and an old comfortable shirt for a little work at home on a Sunday afternoon.

Seems like everyone's wearing their vintage Omegas on BoR lately, so I had to give it a try. If anyone happens to know of any 128 endlinks for sale, please let me know 👍

Wow ! In stunning state ! what year ?

I've got an archive extract for it, it was delivered to Sweden on April 19, 1963.

I don’t get this one out very often. Unpolished and fully original.

I’ll be happy to relieve you of whichever one you don’t want. 😀
