Not into Omega. That day wil come for you. Why every watch fan should own and wear an Omega? Because it is a watch brand in all itβs veins. It are my thoughts, so other thoughts can differ from mine. What makes an Omega an Omega? The history, the quality, the magic, the accuracy, the achievements like the first watch on the moon. That Constellation you post is gorgeous. Why, it tik all the boxes? I like normal second hands on a centre axle, the form, clean. I would bring some fresh wind into it,
mine field.....isn't this valid for any vintages
in this many years back and forth I fail to pull the Omega trigger as I have not spend enough time on this brand aside the "moon"
Without further photos it was probably made in the mid 1960βs (Production of this one started in 62). The crown isnβt the original and spoils this watch so needs replacing with the correct one. I would certainly want to see the movement. It should have a Calibre 561. My advice is make sure you know precisely what you are buying before you pull the trigger.
You giving Quan useful information. Iβd see no failure or a crown that is not the original crown. So if i want a vintage watch, i post first a picture which you can inspect. Yesterday a friend dis recommended me to buy a Corum watch. He said, replacing parts are a nightmare to find.
eyes Cpt, patient is the key word in vintage hunting
