moving away from European men's clothing fashion and back to worse redials..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-CONST...ID-GOLD-CAL551-AUTOMATIC-143812-/121135701592

The Seller's definition of the casing in "very good" condition in the listing is commendable..... "CASE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION JUST BUFFED, ORIGINAL CASE BACK FULLY HALLMARKED INSIDE, UNFORTUNATELY THE CONSTELLATION LOGO HAS COMPLETELY FADE OUT"

Geezus, did they use a grinding wheel before the buffer? 😲

If you look close, I think you can see the movement through the caseback.
This may be the evolutionary father of the clear caseback!

Ouch! I don't wanna be the one who has to tell Sam somebody screwed up his watch.

OK, the minute markers, what else? They knew the MOY test.
The script looks applied with a rubber stamp
Watch is also missing the bezel and the case back medallion.

I love the bezel, what style is that called, "floating bezel"?
And if it's just a thing they grabbed and dropped on the watch for the sake of hiding the rest of the crap then why didn't they vaseline the lens🙄

Is the orange box celebrating anything in particular ? Or is just an homage to the 70's 😵‍💫

...and I think that Ranfft's rule of never buying a watch whose movement you can't see holds especially true on a fine item such as this. Say what you will, at least the Ukrainian art department has more flare.
