    I hope I am not overstreching this Kind Forum: But would be interested in your thoughts.
    Here are the real pictures

    Price can go down a bit. I have just seen it in reality. Crown does not look original. Bracelet is Omega but very likely not the original. Otherwise it looks quite good to me. Not a pie pan though but nice. Onyx markers.
    Any advise is much appreciated.

    The case has been polished, I think

    It doesn't look like an obvious redial to me...ticks are even, font looks right, "Swiss Made" in the right place. The onyx markers are nice! Agree it may not be the right crown for this model. The stars on the case back are also a bit faded. Its not bad, but not the best one I've seen. And seems a bit pricey to me.

    It’s possible this one could be a 14394 de luxe model which means the case and dial are both 18k gold. However on the negative side the case is over polished and the crown is incorrect. If I were you I would try and barter down the first watch you offered us.

    Almost certainly the /4 reference.
    The lugs and bezel are soft.
    Should look like this no-date /2 cousin

    @fneeze: what do you think would be a good and fair prize?

    The font looks thick, especially "Constellation."

    I presume you don’t mean the movt serial?
    The ref is for the case
    And the cal is for the movt (date)
    There were different dial options

    I should have added
    The /4 was for the deluxe gold dial but they used the same gold case back showing 14393/4 for both de luxe and ‘standard’ dialled gold cases

    The crystal on this one comes with a cyclops for magnifying the date, quite common on the higher spec models. Not to everyone’s taste but it was seen as an upgrade in its day.
    I would be careful if you are considering this one as the dial looks to have sustained some water damage.

    Thanks. But I will not consider it.
