I set my goal and accomplished it.

Hello all omegaforums’ members.

I want to share this watch in my collection.

I believe that one of the ultimate aim for omega collectors’ is getting the omega constellation with an original black waffle dial with arrowhead markers.

It was very hard to find original black waffle dial.

I search and gather it together.

Very rare and very hard to find all 18k
(Rose-White-Yellow) from @MSNWatch

Also, the nice examples from members in this forum.
(All come with the steel case)

Now, I can accomplish it too with gold-cap case.

It was Omega constellation ref.2652 with uncommon original black waffle dial, serial number was dating around 1954 and powered by caliber 354.

In my opinion,
- The dial was original with some patina spots
- The font of this dial was correct and original
- The arrowhead markers were original
- The hands were original
- Movement caliber is 354 with serial number dating this watch to 1954

- The crown was correct and original

- The big logo omega buckle was original too.

This picture demonstrates after removing all hands.

The backside of this dial.

Finally, My wrist shot:

Thanks @cristos71 , @hoipolloi , @Dr No , @seekingseaquest , @Peemacgee and others for all kindness comment via pm.

Thanks for sharing your opinion and your pictures too.
Best regards,
Teerapat

Very nice indeed....and I think it fit to make my behind the scenes "Dibs" officially certified in this thread 😁

Great watch and a real beauty - congrats!

I would like to ask something: can anyone of the specialists here confirm the different typo (ornate? serifs) e.g. of "Constellation" on my 20.xxx.xxx Connie? You see this e.g. on the s and t.

compared to the shown:

Nice pictures and quite superb!

Faz · Jul 9, 2021

Stellar! The white gold must be some kind of unobtainium?

Congrats on the pickup and well done in terms of research and hard work

Maybe yours is 196x period. The OP's is earlier than 1954, so the spelling seems to be different IMO

@ Mr Vo exactly that's what I asked. Mine is later , I know.....

ideally a subject for a separate thread - but Teerapats is a ‘crossed Ts’ dial seen on certain earlier Constellations.

You can’t compare this with ‘standard’ font dials.
(Even the crossed T dials have minor variations that you need to look at closely if you come across one)

Edit
Regarding your watch - we would need clearer plus full dial pics to assess it properly. (create a thread)

That’s quite the time piece, absolutely beautiful.

My duo of “black” (ref.2652) vs “ white” (ref.2782) waffle dial with arrowhead markers.😀

Walrus · Jul 9, 2021

That is really nice. I don’t really seek those black dials as I see so many altered ones and Tbh they don’t do that much for me but darn you did a great job putting that together. Stay focused and achieve your goal that’s admirable. Can’t I ask how long it took you to put that collection together. They are great looking and just because I’m not into the back dial thing doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate them as i certainly do

qazwsx1 · Jul 9, 2021

@Walrus , around 2 years to put this black and white waffle together.😀
