Hi there
I've decided to dip my foot into the warm currents of the Omega ocean.

I have zero knowledge about these watches. Both are selling online and are by private sellers. One is a Seamaster and the other a Constellation. There is very little information available from the sellers about each of these. I don't know what year they are. These are the only pics I have of them.

Please advise if your are able on what year you think they might be, whether they are worth buying and which of the two is the better purchase. They cost the same at US$ 1110.

Many thanks

Date disc stuck on the Constellation?

Impossible to advise on value without know more (ie: anything) about condition.

May be worthwhile to step back & ask what it is you want out of your ownership experience. You are comparing a 70's sports watch & a 90's(?) dress watch. What's the ultimate objective that you're working towards? Will likely get better satisfaction with the ultimate outcome by refining your choices down to the type of piece you will most enjoy wearing.

Wouldn’t buy them even if they were both for $1100

Niether are collectable and if you have Zero knowledge of them stay away.

Just look for a cosmic or Seamaster for about $4-500 to start you off.


or

Early Seamaster like this

Skip the Seamasters and look at the later Genève models. They cost a lot less and have the exact same movements in them as the Seamaster!

Look at the picture of it out of the case and try to reconcile it with it in the case…

What do the other folks who replied to this thread think about that Constellation. I have my suspicions!
