I would like a bit more info on this watch as to perhaps should i spend cash on it for a service ,glass and case polish, with the view to either keeping or selling.
It is as described an Omega constellation cal:354, case no: 2652-22sc, movement no: 13156185 'bumper'
17 jewels,14ct gold capped case and stainless steel. SS back with gold observatory.
No strap, min hand can slip and position 7 character come away. Ive asked the watch maker to refit the character and to reset the min hand. I say character because the usual dial markers had been replaced with a japanese zodiac wheel either as a commission piece from new or soon after by owner (no way of knowing)any advise will be welcomed. Picturs taken with camera phone with very bright light which shows all the tiny surface scratches not normally seen in the day light with the naked eye (so a polish should be in order i guess but i do like the original feel as it is a sixty year old watch that keeps exceptionally good time

Interesting watch. I have not seen it before. Hard to tell if it's a custom job or a factory job. Sorry I don't have more info. It's probably worth restoring.
