Hi to all and appreciate all the research I’ve gleaned so far on this board. I’m new to this whole watch collecting - but I’m hooked already.
So here’s my 168.017 Constellation ( with papers from an Omega service dept.)
...I was originally thinking of acquiring a pie pan, but the C case just appealed to me more. This is my second vintage Omega in the 5xx cal. ; the other being my Cosmic with a 561 movement. The leather band is torn near the buckle - so I will replace it. But I love the original
( I - think) tang/pin - but not too crazy about the 19/16mm tapered look... I saw Hirst had it ( I still like the idea of a black leather with maybe some variance to the grain as compared...). What do most of you here do with this watch in this regard?
Thanks all.
