Hmm... Now the script color is I think yellowish than silver tho perhaps due to the nature of the reflective dial and the gold tension ring on the crystal, it makes the swiss made looks more yellow than the rest of the text... Tho.... The OMEGA now is the concern as it's not joined, and the O looks wonky but I'm not sure it was caused by the camera angle and lacquered black dial made that or it's indeed 've been refurbished... Still waiting for Desmond to response as one of my online friends did say it's legit from the picture... Urgh I'm confused haha.... Hopefully I could find one with cross haired black waffle arrow head dialed constellation like yours! It's truly mesmerizing... Please post more of it here š
Redial or not?
I've been a bit sceptical about black dialed omegas, but somehow I got lucky with this... So I wonder if the ladyluck still by my side with this one... Thanks for the help! Any input would greatly appreciated! Best Jev ...
Beautiful Omegas!
I love them! The Connie looks fine to me. Only the crown is a replacement, but the original octogonal one is relatively easy to get. Of course Iām not an expert Do you checked for the reference on the internet? It will give you a good idea of what would b...
I think it's a refinished dial, Jev. Keep . . .
. . . looking . . . authentic black dials pop up every now and then. Best, Art
Phew... Okay... Thanks Art!
So... What does make it refinished? (for research purposes)
Jacob got it right: . . .
. . . gold (including capped) cases and/or markers almost always indicate matching script color. Texture of both paint and script weren't in keeping with authentic examples, but script color was the dead giveaway.

Additional point of concern: no crosshair . . .
. . . although the applied OMEGA / Ī© looks ok to my eyes. Let us know what Desmond says. I'd accept his decision as authoritative. Best, Art
Well, that's a wrap, then! . . .
. . . Des is the authority on Connies, no question . . .
Perhaps just a bit to clean
Hi Jev On the black 60' dials like this, I would expect gold lettering, and small specks on the dial, like the one here; I'm not certain I`ve ever seen an emaculate original black dial on these constellations. The watch, however is a stunner ! Yours Jacob...
That is one heck of a dial you got there JK.
To bad about the flimsy lugs Yours Jacob
Can't blame the lug tho... It's around 63-65 yo
And seems well loved by the previous owner, I tried to polish it, but only lightly....
