Please help me on this Constellation
Team,
I'm chasing a Constellation C-shaped for some time.
This one was offered to me, but I have some concerns about.
I'm always afraid of redone dials on vintage ones.
Is everything correct with this one or should I pass it?
Pictures:
Of course, if everything is correct, it needs a complete maintenance, new gaskets etc.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Nilo

Case looks nice
But dial has either been redone or chemically cleaned so as to damage the lettering. I would not buy it unless the price was sufficiently low.
The dial has been refinished . . .
. . . but all else looks ok save the crown, which should have twelve serrations, if memory serves correct. Art
Thank you Art
One day you need to do a "Everything about Omega crowns" post. Cheers, Nilo
not pretty, also look at the screws and marks on movement.
Hi This watch was taken a part by someone with butter fingers to say the lest. I would pass on what others have pointed out and the tale-tail signs of the mechanic who was inside ... Good Hunting Bill Sohne
Thank you Bill ...
I can't believe that I didn't saw all of those major details. Good news is that I already returned the watch, no prooblems. Amazes me, after all years here, how much experts we can tap witha simple post of a simple watch. Cheers, Nilo
The case is by......
.....Edouard Wenger SA (the number 1 inside the key on the case back) and he made many a case for Omega but the dial is refinished and done badly. Such a shame as good gold C shapes are quite hard to come by. The movement has been mauled as well. Cheers A...
Thank you Aroma ...
At the end, it was a misunderstand. I'm hunting, with all patience, a SS one. They are quite common here but an untouched one is hard to find. But, for me, the hunt is 80% of the fun. Cheers, Nilo
I agree with you Nilo...
I get probably as much fun from the 'hunt' as I do from acquiring the piece - so keep hunting!!! Here are a couple of my C shape Connies - the stainless steel one is no longer with me alas but the gold one is one of the very early C shapes with a cal 561 ...
