I'm putting up for sale my c. 1956 Arrowhead Constellation 2852 that I purchased on this forum a little over a year ago. I have worn it very little since then, and its condition now is exactly as it was when I received it. I've found my taste in watches has evolved (curse of the newb, I think), so I'm hoping to move it on to another OF member. I'm asking 1550 USD + shipping.
Photos - I've done my best to photograph the watch honestly. The photos of the movement are from a year ago. If you'd like more detailed photos of any part of the watch, just let me know. For reference, my wrist (pictured) measures about 17.5 cm.
Dial, Hands, and Crystal - The stars of the show, IMO, are the desirable gold arrowhead indices. The indices and hands are in good shape. There is a bit of bluish discoloration that is sometimes (though not usually) visible on the hands and the 8 and 10 o'clock markers.
The two-toned dome dial is in overall good condition. The text, minute track, and crosshair are all in great condition. The paint on the interior section has some spots. They are pretty faint in person and made worse in photographs. The left side of outer section of the dial has some corrosion. This is more apparent in person than the spots, but it too looks worse in photos than in person. On the wrist, it really is a beautiful dial.
The crystal seems to be correct, with the Omega logo, and in very good condition.
Case - Stainless steel. Approximately 35 mm diameter excluding the crown. Lug width is 18 mm.
The case is honest and, I believe, unpolished. Some scratches are visible. The case back has slight corrosion which may have been caused by a strap or bracelet. The medallion is in very good condition. The decagonal crown has a couple of small dings on it.
Movement - Omega 505, unknown service history.
The watch sets, winds, and runs well. The movement looks nice and clean. Right now, according to the watch accuracy app on my phone, it's gaining about 30 seconds per day, but that's not fully wound and only in one position sitting on my desk. I opened it a year ago when I received it, but I didn't attempt to adjust the regulator. If you'd like more movement photos, let me know.
Head only- The watch will be sold head only. I have included a few photos with a bracelet just to show it off on the wrist.
Payment - The price is 1550 USD plus the cost of shipping from the US (shipping preferences to be discussed via PM). I would like payment through bank transfer, Venmo, or PayPal F&F. I am willing to consider requests for other methods of payment from well-established forum members who participate regularly.
References - This is only my third attempt to sell on this forum, so I have only one reference as a seller, plus one as a buyer. I had another good experience selling here with no review. I would happily reach out to the buyer for a reference if it would put you at ease to hear from them (they're under the impression that they can't leave a review before making 200 posts).
