It's not often that I learn of a previously unknown Connie reference . . .
. . . but that's precisely what happened, Max. Not only had I never seen a 2988, I'd never even heard of this reference, at least not to the best of my memory.
What makes this lapse jarring is that I'm familiar with ref 2989. It never occurred to check one digit off.
Congrats on the acquisition, and many thanks for the education.
Warm regards,

Vintage Omega
I don’t have many Vintage Omega. This is a Constellation in white gold. Small for today’s standard. Hope you like it... ...
They're so rare that many collectors aren't aware they exist, but indeed . . .
. . . they do. More detail later when I'm back at my own computer in several hours . . .
Is it a ref 168.010? . . .
. . . congrats on owning a rare and desirable Constellation. Arrowhead markers, too . . . don't believe I've seen another exactly like it. White gold cases are extremely rare but do exist in both 14 kt and 18 kt for a few Connie references including 2852....

Found it as it is from a Collector who has owned it for the past 15 years... I have tried to limit the number of watches.. Stainless steel 1956 Melbourne Olympic North Korean Kim II Jung Made For Middle East Made for Middle East Made with Images of the Fi...
Vintage Omega Constellation Pie Pan dial
The white gold watch may be a redial unfortunately... Hope you like this one better... ...
This would be a ref 2853 . . .
. . . ca '57. Distinguished from ref 2852 by the gold dial, otherwise identical. Art
I'm having a hard time locating another . . .
. . . exactly like it. The case looks like a ref 14398, but that's an early '60s model fitted with a cal 561 movement. The dial looks like it's from an earlier late '50s Constellation ref 2954 with a cal 504 movement. Can you share images of the movement ...

Hi Art I have returned the watch to the shop.. will try to get the movement photos if possible... In the meantime, please view the following ...
2853
Hi. I thought you are referring to the white gold constellation. Please see the yellow gold constellation movement and inner case back which I have ...
I'm perplexed by the hooded lugs Connie, Max . . .
. . . that's the one I was asking for movement and inner caseback pics. Best, Art

I like it
I have no vintage Omega or any other vintage watch. But this can change quick, i discovered a fine auction site. Real fun to bid i’d experienced.
Most interesting, Max, because it's an exception to the rule . . .
. . . that chronometers should have seconds marks. Mid-century white gold Omegas usually didn't have them, though. I can't specifically remember seeing a Connie like yours before, but the dial is genuine, so it's got to be a rare original (or possibly ser...
The 168010/11
so i see i chose the Conny. But that said, i collect diverse Omega’s. I am just at the start collecting much Omega’s as i can. Learn much about many Omega’s as i can. Some other rare watches outside Omega, like a cushion Piaget i saw, a Corum Bridge. A pe...
