Vintage Omega Constellation help

[mb148]

Good evening,

I have been looking at this example:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Omega-Constellat...

Could anyone tell me if this is this looks genuine? It looks pretty good to me and I asked the seller to add pics of the movement which he has done. Obviously it is a quartz which is less desirable but the watch seems good value.

I know the fakers are good, and constellations have been vastly faked over the years. This concerns me as it would be my first Omega.

Kind regards, any help much appreciated

Can't see the point in faking a 70's quartz watch myself. Although the numbers do not seem to exist on the Omega database? Not the first time it's been wrong though.. http://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/...

Yes, good point.

But miffed about the database, I have done some more research and it appears genuine apart from that.

Thanks for the reply

Looks OK to me.

I only have doubts as to its value.

The seller decided to change the strap and upped the price, courtesy of someone else who was interested and then it didn't sell.

I had a think and then offered the original price (£10 difference) and asked if he would include the other strap. He declined! I don't think he wants to change the strap back.

Still chasing Omegas of a similar age.

Thanks for your help
