Keeping it real
Bill S,
Well, I've already chronicled my failed bids for the Chronometre de Bord (Lot 98) so that does not count.
Having to keep it real so it reflects bids that I could really afford 
.
My quintessential iconic Omegas because they reflect the Best of their Times (1970s, 1960s, 1950s) are:
1) White C-Case Constellation 1966 (Lot 173) for unparalleled elegance and very rare (for Omega) white gold bracelet.
Lot 173 in white gold
2) Gold Constellation Stardust 1975 (Lot 187) for rare yellow gold Megaquartz F2.4 MHz movement with "deep" adventurine quartz crystal polished dial. Practically as accurate as the world's most accurate wristwatch - Constellation Marine Chronometer - but a whole lot prettier!
Not the gold case but the dial is similar to Lot 190
3) Gold Constellation Deluxe Automatic 1956 (Lot 162) with two-toned gold applied faceted dart indices on guilloche ground dial and cal.354 movement......mmmm.
Bottom right Lot 162

Available on the marketplace
4,314 Omega listings are live on the eBay market and 358 collector listings on the WatchProSite marketplace.
What lots would you bid on ?
For my three Lots I would have choosen to "fill gaps" in my collection...
Your gaps are most peoples'
Seems odd for either a c.861 or c.1045, have you talked your watch guy?
