I have a stainless steel Omega 168.005 Constellation for sale which I've owned for about ten years. It has been serviced in that time but not recently.
I was fairly active and well known on here during the last decade but over the last couple of years I have lost some interest and don't feel like I get use from all my watches so I thought I'd let some go. I've enjoyed collecting but the buzz has gone. Although I was a watchmaker for some years, I am now retired, so I am not offering a warranty and the watch is not freshly serviced. It is a private sale of my watch.
You can expand these photos to see any flaws and if you need further photos, please ask. All these detail photos are unprocessed except to crop/reduce the size and rotate. If you want the original which is larger, just let me know.
Opening the watch shows the inside caseback:
The movement, calibre 561 and serial 20060572:
I have quickly reviewed this watch as follows:
1. Full wind and rested in dial up to check power reserve - this came out as more than 38 hours which is within spec.
2. Mounted on my tester which simulates a day of wear to check charging from stopped, then rested in dial up to check power reserve from auto wind - this came out as more than 38 hours which is within spec.
3. Movement performance check, amplitude and rate at 0H (30 minutes after removing from the auto winder) - Three performance pictures as specified by Omega being CH (dial up), 6H (Six O'clock high), 9H (Nine O'clock high) and it's running fairly well.
I am making an honest description of the watch but, I'm not guaranteeing the results of my three tests so if you want to use this watch regularly, I would recommend a service sooner rather than later.
I'm not taking returns on this watch or offering a warranty. There are lots of photos and you're welcome to ask for more as well as to ask any questions, which I'll try my best to answer. Payment is by bank transfer to my UK bank account and the watch is in UK with me. I would very much prefer a UK sale as I will struggle to insure when sending overseas since I closed my business. I'll use Royal Mail Special Delivery (RMSD) to send the watch in UK but, a Face to Face meeting is fine as well - I am in Somerset.
Here is a link showing some feedback I have here:

Thanks for looking, and to the team at OF for this space.
Cheers, Chris
