·I'm fairly new to vintage watches, as most of my collection consists of modern pieces. I've always admired vintage timepieces and recently decided to buy my first Omega. After some searching, I came across what seemed to be a reputable eBay dealer with thousands of positive transactions. I found a vintage Omega Constellation from what appeared to be the 60s/70s. Although the bracelet was aftermarket, the dial looked stunning and in great condition. I compared it to several similar models, and everything seemed to check out, so I decided to make the purchase.
However, after completing the payment, I took a closer look and noticed something concerning. When zooming in, I realized the indices were misaligned. On top of that, the "Swiss Made" font appeared slightly off, and what worries me even more is that the dial seems slightly too large for the case. The steel indices seem to overlap the printed markers on the dial, but they don't line up correctly.
I would really appreciate some input from those more experienced with vintage Omega watches, as I’m feeling quite lost and unsure about this purchase. Thank you for your help!
