Constellation PIE PAN
Hello Fellow Purist. I'm no expert on Omegas, so needed some advice.
I have an opportunity for a Constellation PIE PAN. Could anyone shed some light on the movement Ca.501? Is this a inhouse movement by Omega?Heard that the PIE PAN is a collaboration by GG and Omega. Any truth in that? Anye reviews and comments about this watch?
Appreciate your feedbacks.
Mike
