You didn't mention if it was gold gold or white gold as it came in both. The 168.014 was the DeLuxe version of the watch and had a solid gold dial of the same colour as the case. Difficult to identify the precise model unless I see pictures of it.<br /><br />If you're keen to date the watch you will need to access the movement Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148245572518221306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-55253493352584385142022-09-21T14:09:55.529+08:002022-09-21T14:09:55.529+08:00I have a omega constellation inherited from my fat...I have a omega constellation inherited from my father. 18 k gold with 4 diamonds and gold bracelet.

The calibre 351 was a non-chronometre movement and was usually found in Seamaster models.<br /><br />I can't explain how a cal 351 fund its way into your father's watch. Perhaps the movement was damaged in some way and your father's watchmaker suggested replacing the movement.<br /><br />Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148245572518221306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30329246.post-41782012769010087292022-03-26T03:29:57.824+08:002022-03-26T03:29:57.824+08:00Hello .
