Sorry friends I added this to my previous post.
Luck doesnt seem to be on my side

It seems Id missed out on the vintage omega 861

Omega 35th Anni. ed. white pearl dial,LNIB

Now I have seen an vintage omega constellation, piepan, GOLD TOP,
dial silverish grey(repainted very good job),gold omega symbol, gold constellation star,gold omega crown original for constellation models, very clean movt, I think 561 movt. gold hr. markers, hands, dial has chrnonmetER (not chronometRE),
The case back has a crisp gold constellation dot.
The watch comes with a SS beads of rice bracelet not of this watch + an old pillow omega box.
The price USD 600.
Guidance please.

Hi, difficult to advise without photos..as standards of redials vary.. and what many people describe as a good redial is actually a shocking and very innacurate one to my eyes sometimes. Personally i would never buy a refinished dial and $600 for a refinished connie is a little steep. If you look at the connies on my website they are all original near mint pieces and i have paid between $550 -700 for them..
Obviously you need to kmae sure caseback is appropriate for this watch by cross referncing with omega database etc which i would be happy to do for you, and i would be happy to look over photos but i personally wouldnt go for this watch.
