Hi all my hunt continues along side my education,
this one on chrono looks correct, I think?

Thanks

The hunt is part of the fun. You may get a more focused response if you change your title to something that includes the name Constellation. Many members will ignore “Dial Check Please”.

Good luck!

It seems to me that this is a re-dial: it looks like the two 'n's in 'Constellation' have had their styles reversed (the 'n' with the looping up mark should be the final one; not the earlier one)

Looks like a redial to me, the case is polished and the crown is wrong. Maybe post more photos next time.

I see what you mean about the Ns

First time (i believe) i see a Constellation with the word Omega written instead of a applied logo. Don't know if that's normal.

It’s normal on some of the earlier constellations such as the 2652

It looks like an original 2648 dial and the condition is not bad really, finding the correct early logo type crown would be a slight pain. The seller removing the bezel to take photos is pretty wild!

It reminds me of a 2648, which was proposed in Switzerland. If that’s the one, it has been sitting on platforms for a good year++ so try negotiating.

Yes it is in Switzerland. but also not original crown and its true that the the 2 Ns in constellation dont look right.

I am not an expert on that ref, but being one of the early constellation refs, there is a fair bit of known variations.

See Desmond’s second article here http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2007/08/dial-update.html?m=1

Worth digging up a few older threads on OF to compare further (if you like the watch enough) - or getting some 2648 guru to comment to be sure.

It's not true the 2 Ns in Constellation do not look right as they are right!

So you think it is correct

I retract my earlier comment - with the earliest references there is much more leeway for fonts; and the second set of photos seems to indicate nothing is amiss

original dial in my opinion. Swiss dealer asking high prices, but given it‘s been sitting around for ages perhaps open for negotiations. If it wasn‘t for the dial damage I would be interested myself.
