·Howdy!
I recently purchased my first vintage Omega, and I have a little bit of a head scratcher.
It was advertised as a 1970s Constellation, however it is seems inconsistent with the others I have found. Per the photos, it is a Cal 1012, Ref 166.0220. I am going by the seller's photos, I don't have a watchmaker close to me to open it up to confirm the numbers. The strap isn't original I know for sure. When I searched the Cal and Ref numbers on the Omega website, it doesn't come up with a matching watch. I found one listing for a gold version of this watch on a dealer website that was advertised as being 'uncommon', but I'm not buying into that. I've found a few on eBay as well, but they were all overseas and have little information.
What am I looking at here? Do I have a pieced together franken-watch or did it actually from Omega this way?
Thanks for your help.
