Omega Constellation Collectors: The 14395: Daddy of the Jumbo Omega Constellations

http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-14395-daddy-of-jumbo-omega.html

The 14395: Daddy of the Jumbo Omega Constellations. For some particularly strange and inexplicable reason, given that Oriental wrists are noticeably smaller than their European counterparts, Omega released a series of “Jumbo” Constellation watches in the Far East in the late nineteen-fifties and early nineteen-sixties (see post below and here. These 37mm diameter cases contained a spacer in which to embrace the 28mm automatic chronometer movements powering various models. Recently My cousin has given to ...

Omega Constellation Collectors: The Omega Constellation Pie Pan Factoid

http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-omega-constellation-pie-pan-factoid.html

The Omega Constellation Pie Pan Factoid. The Omega Constellation pie pan dial was so named because of its similarity to an up-turned pie pan. Sounds fairly plausible, doesn’t it? F something is said often enough, especially on the internet, the chances of it ultimately being perceived as fact are relatively strong. We encounter endless factoids in the mass media where reporters report something as fact, the 'fact' suddenly goes viral, only to be debunked or corrected down the line. Omega’s main ope...

Omega Constellation Collectors: A Rare 143.11 Omega Surfaces

http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2009/03/rare-14311-globemaster-surfaces.html

A Rare 143.11 Omega Surfaces. Recently I was approached by Stef, a gold buyer who amongst other things purchases old gold cases for scrap. He had acquired a calibre 352 RG powered watch that had the word Constellation on the dial, and he suspected that he had something special. He sent me some pictures of the watch: those appearing in this post. Return to home page. Qui sait qqch sur la grande sonnerie (= grande complication horlogère) annoncée. C'était réellement tout à fait un article intéressant!

Rare Accessorised Omega Constellation De Luxe Model 2954. If you’ve been collecting vintage watches for any length of time, experience clicks in when your retinas register the word “rare”.

Omega Constellation Collectors: Few Can be Better than Many

http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2014/02/few-can-be-better-than-many.html

Few Can be Better than Many. Over the years I have seen countless watch enthusiasts pass through the ‘accumulation phase’ of watch collecting. With the intemperance of a flock of Gormands at an All You Can Eat smorgasbord, they sup greedily at the eBay buffet, stockpiling as many variants on their plates as means allow. After all, more is better, and a collection isn’t a collection without numbers, right? This one good piece is indeed worth three also-rans, and will continue to appreciate in value becaus...

Omega Constellation Collectors: The Omega Constellation Jumbo 14777

http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-omega-constellation-jumbo-14777.html

The Omega Constellation Jumbo 14777. For those who enjoy the heady rush of the chase, the ‘Jumbo’ model 14777 Omega Constellation has the potential to have your adrenal glands a-gushing. Be prepared to endure the infusion of brain chemicals that feed and reflect frustration though, because finding one will not be easy. While I wouldn’t rule out the cases having been produced in solid gold, the six examples I have seen over the span of my collecting experience have been either stainless steel or 200...

The Omega Seamaster 200 SHOM, a Factoid of Exemplary Construction. Omega Seamaster 200 Model 166.177 Courtesy Robert Maron. There are countless factoids pertaining to vintage Omega watches circulating on the worldwide web, devoured and regurgitated many times by people who, conceivably, are not gormless or naive, but never-the-less have taken the speculations and falsehoods of others on the Internet as the Rock of Truth. 8220; The SHOM Seamaster was so named because Omega created this model for France's ...

Omega Constellation Collectors: View Beads of Rice on eBay with a Grain of Salt

http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2007/11/view-beads-of-rice-on-ebay-with-grain.html

View Beads of Rice on eBay with a Grain of Salt. Over the past twelve months, some bidders have paid amazing prices for stainless steel and gold plate 'used' and 'new old stock' Omega beads of rice bracelets listed through eBay. Its not unheard of to see gold plate BORs sell for over USD$350.00 and for stainless bracelets to sell in the 200 plus range. Most of the bracelets offered are NOT old stock produced in the 1960s. How can you tell? Well, they didnt have bar codes in the 60s! I am confused. ar...

Omega Constellation Collectors: These Fake Constellation 14900 - 62 SC Cases are Staying Around Like a Bad Smell

http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2013/09/these-fake-constellation-14900-62-sc.html

These Fake Constellation 14900 - 62 SC Cases are Staying Around Like a Bad Smell. Any 14900 Omega Constellation case needs careful scrutiny because it is one of the most ubiquitous of the faked dog-leg lugged cases around. There was a bit of a lull on eBay for a while but I notice them creeping back from time to time, and It's hard to say if another batch has been shipped from the Orient or it's just the earlier ones being recycled. Never-the-less, extreme care should be exercised. What do you think?
