Also with the C-shaped Constellation powered by calibre 561 or 564 it should have a flat dial with 'index' markers and onyx inserts to match the hands.<BR/><BR/>Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148245572518221306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-39433296186839717972008-06-04T16:36:00.000+08:002008-06-04T16:36:00.000+08:00Dear Desmond,I have taken the decision to relist t...Dear Desmond,<BR/>I have taken the decision to relist the Omega Constellation which was the subject of your blog recently.<BR/>In my description I will point out it is a watch with parts from various other date Omegas.<BR/>No intention to deceive it will be described what you said in your blog, the listing will start at £5 and the market will decide.The watch must have a value for parts.In your Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-62993651299136464362008-05-06T16:07:00.000+08:002008-05-06T16:07:00.000+08:00Last question first: The 14393 dial is definitely ...Last question first: The 14393 dial is definitely refinished.

I think more concerning are those that hype up dodgy watches with effusive descriptions that mis confer the sellers expertise on the prospective purchaser.
